Freshly pulled carrots from the vegetable garden this morning warranted a quick tasty salad for lunch with our first ripe apple from the orchard.
Flavoured with a little cumin and coriander, this wonderfully quick to prepare salad tastes great with a few other Middle Eastern style mezzes. A lovely flavourful lunch. Serves 2.
I have foraged, with my neighbour’s permission, a few beautiful yellow quinces from her tree. Don’t be tempted to sink your teeth into these beautiful fruits, they need a long simmer to soften, and then change colour to a beautiful golden pink soft fruit. And whilst they simmer, the kitchen is filled with the perfume of this fragrant fruit.
I’m always a bit wary when I claim to make an authentic dish as it will always have my spin on it! This is a really fresh salad which is great on it’s own on a Meat Free Monday with a little hummus and bread, or otherwise with some grilled fish or chicken if you like.
Sweet and tangy, a lovely combination. Grilled goats cheese drizzled with honey on crunchy toasted ciabatta and a simple salad with hazelnuts.
When in Nice….
Just enjoying a few days in sunny South of France and put together a little Nice inspired salad.
Delicious and quick (my favourite!) The mint leaves a rather nice fresh taste on the palate after you’ve finished eating. Use about 5g fresh mint.
Sweet and soft caramalised pears with a nice tart goats cheese, a little rocket and a few crumbled walnuts. Quite delicious!

The first of the garden basil is now ready, and the tomatoes are not far behind. I adore that summery taste and smell of freshly picked basil and am making what must be the fastest and tastiest salad for lunch today. Just a few ingredients and a piece of crusty bread to mop up the juice. Delicious.
I was inspired by Jamie Oliver’s superfood salad YouTube clip that I watched on the train back from London yesterday, so when I got back home I had a ferret around to see what ingredients I could use up based on this high protein salad.
