Ottolenghi’s Sweetcorn Slaw Recipe | Festive Summer Salad
We’ve just has our first heatwave of the summer, which has re-focused my mind on heatwave food, and some of the best hot weather food around is the humble coleslaw. I love a good slaw. My initiation into the world of food blogs came about when I was searching for a coleslaw recipe online and…

We don’t celebrate celery enough. How many times have you bought half a bunch of celery because you couldn’t work out to with the rest of the bunch.

Luxurious Brown Rice Salad with Caramelised Onion and Currants
I’ve been making this salad for years ever since I first cut out the recipe from the Sunday Life magazine. It’s a Karen Martini recipe and what I like best about it is the way she treats brown rice, in such a star-studded way. There is nothing faintly hippyish, dour or self-consciously wholesome about this…
