RIDE OR DIE LEMON SALAD
Recipe and image by Fiona Hugues For those who know me or follow me, and even all you sleuths and weirdos who like to stalk me, it’s no surprise that dairy is my desideratum, and I also believe that literally nothing is good without a squeeze of lemon. So with these two ingredients combined, I […]
Fennel, Orange and Halloumi Salad with Chilli Honey Dressing
Words and Images by Emma Galloway The classic pairing of finely shaved fennel bulb with orange is not one that will ever go out of fashion! Here I’ve boosted the flavour further with an Aleppo pepper flecked dressing. You’ll find Aleppo pepper at selected specialty food stores (like Vetro). It has a lovely mellow heat […]
CAROTTES RÂPÉES
Words and images by Fiona Hugues Carrots weren’t found in Europe until the Middle Ages and at that time doctors only prescribed them to relieve problems ranging from sexual maladies to snakebite.

After many tests and neighbours’ approval, this one came out on top. Serves 6 Pastry 250g plain flour 150g cold […]
Balsamic Vinegar
Words Vicki Ravlich-Horan, Images Ashlee DeCaires Growing up I think there were only two types of vinegar in my parents’ pantry, malt and white.

Raw Rhubarb Spring Salad
Recipe and image by Kathy Paterson It was years ago that I first had raw rhubarb in a salad and it is quite the game-changer with its savoury tang. Be sure to choose slender bright red-pink young stems, which are more delicate in flavour. Serve as part of a shared meal with salmon, an oily […]
