The Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has today (Wednesday 22 November) announced a range of tax, benefits and savings measures. We round up the key announcements and what they mean for you. Do you also want to get started with the recipes of Oded Oren? We can share a recipe with you. Below you will find the recipe for the fish kebabs with preserved lemon and tzatziki. Perfect for an evening of dining! This recipe is for 3 people. Ingredients for the fish kebabs Light the charcoal barbecue (or use a grill pan). Rub the kebabs with olive oil and grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until firm and cooked through. Alternatively, try tershi. “It’s a Libyan-Jewish dip consisting of pumpkin, potatoes and a toasted spice mix,” says chef Oded Oren, whose cookbook, Oren: A Personal Collection of Recipes and Stories from Tel Aviv, is out in September. He roasts pumpkin wedges with olive oil, cooks potatoes, then mashes the lot together. “Toast and grind caraway and coriander seeds, then add sweet and spicy paprika and a little olive oil.” Once combined, toss the spice mix into the pumpkin/potatoes, and serve cold. Oren set out to be an accessible restaurant and it remains so, in spite of the challenges it faces. “The energy bills have basically tripled since I opened the place. We’ve had numerous meetings about it, trying to be creative with the menu so we can stay affordable. I know a lot of places are raising their prices – we did as well, but not to the extent you’d say it was expensive here. It wouldn’t be fair towards customers, towards locals. We’re a local restaurant.”

Living down the street from London Fields has its perks, not least of which is my proximity to the new OREN Deli. So on my lunch break on a Wednesday, less than a week after they’d opened their doors, I scampered down to try out some of their wares. The food that has always spoken to me, and the food that I cook today, is simple, bold, ingredients-focused and fresh. It’s the food from my home; the food that I grew up with," Oren writes. "I’d never thought it would be ‘special’ enough to serve in a restaurant." The chef's dishes are usually very simple - ingredient lists are short and the methods are always straightforward - but as anyone that's ever sampled Oren's falafel, tahini and salad-stuffed pitas will tell you, they're certainly special. In this World Service programme, which aired at the end of October, Ruth Alexander speaks to three women who have written cookbooks relating to the turbulent past of Hispanic Jews.

The book also tells the story of Oren’s upbringing in Israel’s most populous (and foodie) city. Born to an Ashkenazi Jewish family, Oren cooked in Paris before working in a number of restaurants in his home city including the renowned Turkiz, to which he was handed the reins at just 27 year’s old. He arrived in London in 2011 and eventually got into pop-up scene, impressing The Observer critic Jay Rayner while doing a residency in Camberwell.

Both employees and self-employed workers will pay less in National Insurance from next year, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has announced in today's Autumn Statement. Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Statement means for you – including wages, benefits, pensions, ISAs, housing, national insurance and more If it feels like all I want to do is sing the praises of Oren Delicatessen, it’s because they have very much earned the acclaim. Not through their past, or the acclaim of their restaurant, but through the absolute delightfulness that is their produce. They know what they’re doing, they know they’re doing it exceptionally well, and they deserve high praise for that.

Called Oren, Oded Oren’s debut cookbook is billed as ‘a personal collection of recipes and stories from Tel Aviv.’ The Israeli-born chef has elected to split his book into 10 chapters which largely focus on a particular ingredient - tahini, preserved lemons, tomato - although for practical purposes a few are a bit more general, for example small plates, and fish and meat.
