Salad with Scotch Bonnet chillies? Well, if you know anything about me you will know I'll eat chillies with (and in) everything - and salad is no exception. Scotch Bonnets have a delicious fruity flavour which works very well with the earthy gungo peas (or chickpeas). Sumac adds a citrus note...

I tried making a tuna salad, haven't made one in several years, and the next day it was soggy. Looked like it was separating. Liquid in the bottom of the bowl. Any idea how "not" to get this problem? I rinse and dry my tuna, drain the relish, pat the relish with a paper towel to remove any...

I bought some (growing) micro greens yesterday in Waitrose - £2 which I suppose is not too a bad price. They are very popular with chefs. But this is the first time I've seen them in supermarkets apart from cress - which has always been sold here, even when I was a kid. I have grown my own micro...

I'm having trouble finding a suitable title for this dish. Maybe I should just call it 'Sesame & Mushroom Deep-fried Eggs'. Anyway it worked out well. I was apprehensive that the mushroom coating on the eggs would somehow disintegrate into the frying oil but it didn't at all. Ingredients For...

Halloumi is very straightforward to make at home. Traditionally it is made with sheep’s milk but I used full fat cow’s milk instead. Here I used it grilled in a salad with crispy bacon, fried egg with tarragon and a harissa/yoghurt dressing. Based on a recipe for Halloumi in Lakeland's 'How to...

These stunningly coloured radicchio leaves (pink radicchio and baby Gromula) are from Italy. They have a delicious mildly bitter flavour. The Bresaola, a spiced, air-dried beef is also imported from Italy but I've learned that its fairly easy to make your own. Using ricotta would keep the...

I was watching a Bobby Flay show and saw him make this relish. He was grilling Italian sausages for sandwiches and the relish was to go on them. I've used the relish for my own version of sausage sandwiches, but like it on its own or for a quick pasta dish. Ingredients 1 pint yellow and/or red...

What type of salad leaves do you like? Do you prefer soft leaves, crunchy leaves or both? Here is my latest love - fantastically pretty pink radicchio and baby Gromula radicchio (photographed earlier). Both are all the way from Italy:

This recipe is from an old BA mag. You really need a white hot CI pan to do this properly. I heat the pan on one of my propane crawfish boil burners. I've subbed rib-eye for the fillet. Ingredients For spice mixture 1 tablespoon paprika 2 teaspoons ground black pepper 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1...

Celery is the star of the famous Waldorf salad. This is a take on the classic - a deconstructed Waldorf, if you like! I haven't included precise quantities for the main ingredients. It should be common sense and rather depends on how much you want to place on each plate - a small amount of...
