Winter salads: a spicy red cabbage coleslaw
If there were a prize for most beautiful vegetable, I hope that red cabbage would win it. In winter I never tire of the lovely colour and the incredible sight of its cross-section . Until now my use of it … Continue reading

Vietnamese salad recipe
The good news, at least as far as I’m concerned, is that the bug is starting to lose its grip. The bad news is so is the good weather. Blue sky has given way to grey clouds, a drop of … Continue reading
Ottolenghi’s ‘double’ couscous salad
Couscous is something I have always loved, ever since I first tried it in France as a teenager. Along with gazpacho, a vaguely original attempt at the whole shebang (veg, meat, harissa and semoule) was one of the first things … Continue reading
Bill Granger’s Greek salad with halloumi
Bill Granger again? Halloumi again? Yes, and I’m not going to apologise because it won’t be long, at least in the UK where it already feels like autumn, before tastes like this seem like a distant memory. This is a delicious mini-tweak to … Continue reading
Last of the summer salads: new potato, bacon and parsley
There are ten days of August left and, though it’s not my favourite month, it is still summer. So I am going to spend these almost-two-weeks squeezing in as many warm weather flavours as I can find. First, a hot new … Continue reading
Plum tomato, mint and caper salad
I started my leftover-defrost-declutter process at the weekend not with a recipe but with a rather wasteful trashing of the large, by-now-unhappy-looking, piece of watermelon. So that salad idea was out. Then I made Bill Granger’s honey and garlic chicken again (lovely, but I think … Continue reading

Three-month fridge defrost and a Riverford broad bean, feta and mint salad
I have banned myself from food shopping this weekend since I still have a ton of ingredients to use up from last week’s ill-advised farmers’ market run. And, as I can no longer see into the ice-box of my fridge, … Continue reading

Peter Gordon’s broad bean, bacon, chilli and tahini salad/sandwich
Sound odd? Yes, I thought so at first but, well, broad beans and bacon are natural frying-pan fellows, chillis are always good with green veg and tahini is one of those things that I always mean to break out of … Continue reading
Ottolenghi’s roasted aubergines with saffron yogurt
When I want a new idea for the relatively mundane, I turn to Ottolenghi. Whether the chef, the restaurant or the cookbooks, it is, for me, a name synonymous with reinvention, particularly of vegetables. There is no limp lettuce or … Continue reading
A handful of Salade Niçoise
There’s not much that makes me want to leave London but, right now, the weather is, well, challenging. It’s the weather for socks, central heating and raincoats when I should be moaning about wasps, barbecues and sweaty people on the … Continue reading
