Making the most of the heatwave: tomato and bread salad
It’s the hottest day of the year so far today which means it’s a day for salad or gazpacho as far as I’m concerned and, since I have the ingredients for a variation on panzanella I thought I’d try that. … Continue reading

Moro’s tabbouleh salad recipe
Within a month south-east England has gone from proper summer temperatures (26° or so at the end of April) to something approaching autumn. It’s windy, grey and so cold that I have to resist the urge to turn the heating … Continue reading
Surviving Tesco’s day two: halloumi, rocket and roasted tomato salad
