I am a massive fan of Za’atar. Usually it’s a combination of thyme or oregano and sesame seeds. I was introduced to za’atar by my mother-in-law who is Israeli, but you will see za’atar all over the Middle East and in North Africa.

When I had my son suddenly everyone started talking to me about ‘baby food’ and ‘kid food.’ I had never been raised with the idea that somehow kids got to eat something different - we always just ate whatever my parents ate. And from having lived in India and watching kids eat an array of flavors it struck me as a sort of bizarre thing that our culture has imparted on us, that kids need to start with blander food. People now ask me all the time how I got Guy to eat and I always say it’s simple really: he never had a choice!

I’m a total sucker for any dish that comes in a little contained bowl. It’s cute, fun and makes everything feel like a party. It’s even better when it’s easy. These little circular summer squash make the perfect vessel for a summery, simple delight. Pre-cooked crab meat and a little bit of cheese round out this dish - it’s as easy as can be but somehow still feels like a special occasion. And don’t fret if you don’t have this kind of squash - you could make this just as easily with your standard piece of zucchini.
