Easy Armenian Potatoes as a Party Side
I used to make these Armenian potatoes a lot many years ago. They’re a great dish for a party, super simple and stupendously delicious.

Fluffy Cuban Mojo Sauce Recipe for Grilled Asparagus
Asparagus is particularly good at the moment with nice juicy, fat stems that are perfect for grilling. For years, I blanched asparagus and then refreshed them in iced water before dressing them, but last year, I discovered the joy of just baking, sauteeing or throwing them on the barbie, which makes fresh asparagus a snap…

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…

I love this time of year when you get the occasional day with a hint of autumn but you have the best of the summer bounty to cook and eat. Eggplant and tomatoes always have a taste of summer to me and, combined as one dish, they make an unbeatable combination. This particular eggplant salad…
