FAQS and Tips

• I buy my halloumi online at Yorkshire Dama, owned by a Syrian lady that wanted to replicate the lovely cheese she had back home. It’s the same that Bubala uses and she quality really shows through !

• You can get creative with the spices! Nigella seeds or even chamomile and fennel seeds works very well.
