We also have our eye on other intriguing cocktails such as Leaf The Curry (think curry leaf, tamarind, cardamom and aged rum), and tempting bar snacks (poached lobster roll with trout caviar, anyone?). Alas, dinner beckons.

Whether they’re for Raya or a weekend family get-together, these creative recipes give old favourites a palate-fascinating twist.
