Chewy tahini raisin cookies, featuring one of my favourite spice mixes, commonly used in Moroccan cuisine: Ras el Hanout. Move over pumpkin spice, there's a new winter flavour.

Ras el Hanout is often used in savoury dishes but works wonderfully in sweet dishes too and, dare I say it, even better than pumpkin spice. The name in Arabic means "head of the shop" and implies a mixture of the best spices the seller has to offer.

I don’t know about you but I’m sad clementine and blood orange season is almost over! Don’t get me wrong - spring is the most exciting time of the year but winter does have its perks, food wise obviously.

So I’m finding all the ways to enjoy clementines and blood oranges while they’re still around. Join me in doing the same!

I made this incredibly easy and allergen friendly cake made with just a handful of ingredients and based on Nigella Lawson‘s clementine cake but tweaked to make it slightly more nutritious.
