You are very inspiring. I bought some rose water today so any hints on where I might use it apart from above dessert, will be appreciated. Laura reminded me of your lamb tagine which will be on the menu next week! I have your preserved lemons but never dried orange peel. Talking of oranges, Sainsbury's have not stocked blood oranges over the last few years. I wonder why? Oh, I forgot, the asparagus is taking up the space :(. Anne Miles,

That does sound nice, I love orange peel in slow cooked dishes. Everyone should have some dried orange in their cupboards, it's so good. Miles Laura,

Lots of cinnamon and fresh black pepper as wll as a fair amount of ginger. Couscous had a hint of fresh orange juice in it as well . . . Thank you! Laura Hi Miles:

There are plenty of possibilities for this and your book is full of ingredients which would inspire these variations. MIles Laura,

Already has the Andalusian-N. African vibe with the dates-oranges combo, but just a touch of the rose might be lovely too. To really go African, one could use blood oranges and pistachio ice cream For my own personal tastes, I might make the simple syrup a bit less sweet to really let the tartness of the oranges shine - but that's me - a bit sour, not a sweetie. Served slightly cool or room? Really nice dish, Miles! Elegant, wonderful!
