Oh my...these look wonderful and I think my kids would love them and love to make them. I have never heard of Leon before so thank you for the introduction.

Wonderful! I don't think I've ever had a falafel and these look and sound great. Now where can I find chickpea powder?

Wow Heidi, this looks fantastic! I can't wait to try these. You make me want to buy so many cookbooks!

As a UK reader, I had not heard of the Leon restaurants so thanks for the recommendation and I will have to go eat at one of those. Their book looks great from your photos and this recipe sounds yum!

This looks amazing. I LOVE sweet potato and falafel, and the direction these two take (kind of meeting half way) is exciting! Also, 'falafelly' is one amazing adjective!! I definitely lol'd :)

oh
my
heavens!

Looks great, as always!
If you are looking for a great natural food cookbook, i fell in love with the rebar cookbook, companion to the Vancouver restaurant of the same name.

I've added this cookbook to my wish list! The falafel sound delectable. I adore books that are visually engaging---keeps me alert...

I bring back a big box of sweet potatoes from my mother's every time I go home -- enough to share with friends and still have half-a-box left for improvising! Just contributed a sweet potato hummous recipe to a local cookbook. Tonight I'll try falafel!

This book is such a treasure, my mother in law gave me a copy for Christmas. We have the cheese map on our kitchen wall!

This looks delicious, I've never thought to combine sweet potatoes and chick peas. Can't wait to try it!

Heidi, you make me happy! I just found out Friday that I have a LONG list of food allergies, but I CAN have everything in this recipe... except for the lemon. I might swap out apple cider vinegar and see how that goes. Thank you for this! I'm going to try it tonight! :D

What a great twist on sweet potatoes! Can't wait to try these!

Hi Heidi

I reviewed the original branch of Leon a few years ago for The Guardian. Whenever I visit Leon, I usually order these tasty and moreish sweet potato falafels. When I fist saw them on the menu, I thought they might be too sweet for a savoury main course dish, but thankfully they are not! I will definitely look out for the cookbook...

I'm ashamed to say I'm a Londoner who's never even heard of or seen a Leon - I really should look one up. These sound delicious. Any chance of a photo of the end product?

Sweet potatoes are a favorite! This is such an interesting way to use them up.

Wow, I can't WAIT to make these! I love me some falafel! :)

This looks delicious! I actually encountered a similar recipe in an old Indian cookbook which had pecans, corn, and cinnamon in the mix along with most of the ingredients you mention (no sesame seeds or garlic though). One of my favorite Indian recipes if anyone is looking for a variation. Now I can't wait to try this version!

Of Cos !!!! LEON is best fast food place ! best natural healthy food
Soup is fantastic !
Stewed is amazing for winter to warm up your stomach.
snacks are all different texture tasty!!

once while i do eat chicken only at this place. real free range organic flavor!

even Lamb meatballs is delicious ! even i'm not a meat eater.
everything is just sooo good there. Definitely is a place for a picky eater like me.. also with lots of allergy and intolerant for something ingredients
the best ever! and best place to chilled and seat with found furniture..

Oh My Goodness! Those little mounds are so cheery! I wish I could snap my fingers and turn the pile of sweet potatoes currently acting as my table's centerpiece into them right now.
And that books looks like great reading/cooking. Thank you for sharing Heidi!

I've had these before on a number of occasions and they truly are amazing! Fantastic that Allegra has a recipe book out, I am definitely going to make them!

The sesame seed topping looks great. And, I can't wait to see the book. Sounds like a great one.

This looks great and so easy. Think I'll give it a go by steaming the sweet potato. I am not such a fan of cooking food at such high temperatures and the steaming would also make it a bit of a quicker prep time. Fabulous as always!

sounds delicious, great!

What a crafty idea. Sounds tasty too. I love the llok of that book. Design is so important for a cookbook; it needs to be inspiring. Cooking is more than just making it, it is creating a dish with joy and love.

This book sounds wonderful-have to buy it.

These look delicious! I may be unimaginative right now, but does anyone have suggestions on what to serve with these? Bonus points for being super easy to prepare.

Thanks Heidi!

sounds absolutely amazing i'm going to try this tonight!

Thanks so much!

These sound great!

I'm allergic to wheat and chickpeas -anyone have an idea of a flour that is a good alternative?

.."a little but of crunch."

Just a heads up!

I've been a long time lurker, your fresh food ideas have inspired me over and over again.
Thanks, you're awesome!

I bought the cookbook on the spot after reading this post. I hope to try this and more recipes soon. Thanks for sharing!

Serendipity!
I just found your website today by chance. I love it. I love the creativity of the recipes abd I love the beautiful photography.

30 minutes into my new discovery and I realized that it was YOUR website! I have your cookbook, Super Natural Cooking, and I love it. I've only been able to cook a couple of things, but it has totally inspired me!

I was just thinking this weekend that I have all these cookbooks that I rarely use, yet I'm obsessed with buying new ones! I try to cook new recipes, however my limited time does not allow me to do this so I tend to just do variations of what I know. I have decided this weekend that I am going to try to cook at least 2 new recipes a week (this week I'm shooting for 4). I know it doesn't seem like much, but I just don't have the time. I just read that is how you started this website! I am looking forward to trying many more of your favorite recipes.

Thank you!

I live in London and I must say Im a huge fan of Leon restaurants. I also own the book, which is really well done and also very well designed ( Im a graphic designer, you see! ). I recommend it 100%. I was pleasantly surprised when you posted this recipe, it's one of my favourites (alongside Leon's Super Salad!).

Who does your macro food photography? I always love looking at the photos of the recipes you've made.

HS: Thanks Willow, I do all my own photography for the site.

These sound like a great take on the traditional falafel. Fantastic photos!

What a creative idea! I'm going to pass along this recipe to my mother, better yet, I'll send her here. She'll love it.

I just made this recipe with two substitutions / changes:

1) I didn't have chickpea flour, so I mixed together whole wheat flour + mashed garbanzo beans to make a sort of paste.

2) I was short on time, so I fried these in olive oil instead of baking them.

I was very pleased with how these turned out! I served them with a cucumber sauce (Greek yogurt, chopped cucumbers, and garlic.)

Makes so much sense - chickpea flour and sweet potatoes. I can't wait to try this. I've only used chickpea flour for crepes in the past, I'm happy to have another use for it. Great post!

I Live in London and have never been to London- already asked a friend to join me for dinner there tomorrow!

These should be served with tahini, the obvious combo!

You can also do the complete middle east meal: pita bread, diced tomato and cucumber salad, falafel. pickled cucumbers and tahini drizzled on the top. Yum!

These falafels are my favourite thing to eat on the menu and I never realised that they were not deep-fried!

sounds fab! and on the subject of british food, as a canadian living in england for the past 6 years, i think the food here is fantastic! maybe not in london necessarily, but definitely in the south west. the vegetarian movement here is booming and is years ahead of canada. i am spoiled for choice when it comes to eating out.

I made this last night, with one change: I substituted canned chickpeas for the chickpea flour, to give it more texture, and it worked a treat. A lovely recipe, thank you for reviewing the book: I have just ordered it.

Heidi, this book looks incredible. What a ringing endorsement! After looking at their menu, I decided that I'm going to have to make a beeline for the bookstore to look through it. Thanks for sharing!

I love falafel of any kind and sweet potato in any form, so this recipe sound more or less perfect to me!

This seems so easy! And that book looks amazing. Thanks!

I've been addicted to your website for a long time! I love Allegra McEvedy and follow her recipes on the Guardian's website. This looks yummy! Thanks!

those remind me a bit of an old Molly Katzen recipe for Sweet Potato Koftas - we always fried them, but then I made a baked pancake version here: 2009/02/working-with-what-you-have-squash-and.html

What a gorgeous looking cookbook AND recipe. Thanks!

What a gorgeous cookbook!! I can spend hours in the cookbook section of a bookstore! I will keep my eyes open for this one!

And the falafels look divine!

If I didn't just have falafels for lunch, I would be making these for dinner tonight! Is tomorrow too soon?
