Nistisima: The secret to delicious Mediterranean vegan food, the Sunday Times bestseller and voted OFM Best Cookbook

Product Information

This recipe is for the nistisima (or vegan) version of kourambiedes, slightly different but just as authentic as the more well known butter cookie version. The only proper response to Georgina Hayden’s new book, Nistisima, is greedy delight, as far as I’m concerned.

And you certainly don’t need to be a devout member of the Orthodox church, a vegan or a vegetarian to be grateful to have this in your kitchen. We are (from left to right) Billie, Mama Dimitra, Baba George and Helen, and here you will find all of our amazing family recipes, and more! Made with a combination of almond meal and flour, orange juice and a bit of brandy, the finished cookies are light and high and just ever so slightly crumbly. This one of my go-to nistisimo recipes if I have people round for a meal – you can get it ready in advance, it looks impressive and it tastes amazing. When I graduated I went back to the publishing house that Delicious was part of and worked there for a year before joining Jamie’s team.

Finely chop the dill, then ladle the soup into bowls and serve scattered with dill, and a slice of rye bread on the side. The cabbage core is removed and you have to immerse the cabbage in hot, salty water until they start becoming soft. Toss together well, spread out into one even layer and pop in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the pumpkin is charred around the edges.

I had never come across it before and thought: ‘Oh well, I’ll just have to keep writing about this subject in one way or another. Place neatly in the pot (I use the same one the cabbage was boiled) starting from the edge to the centre. I am sure that all of you who love Greek cuisine know what dolmades are and to be frank they are one of many of my all time favourite Greek comfort food.

Roll the pastry and filling up like a cigar then curl it into a swirl; this is the centre of your pie. However, sometimes they finish before spring so during winter a good alternative would be lahanodolmades, which are stuffed cabbage leaves or seskoulodolmades, stuffed chard leaves. Put a leaf on a plate, vein side facing up, remove stem and put about a tbsp of the mixture near the stem. Place the fennel, sesame, coriander, cumin and nigella seeds in the pan and toast for just a couple of minutes until you can really smell them.
