Tequila adds a strong kick to this salad in both the marinade for the chicken and marinade for the avocado. Burnt orange slices (rind on) add a bittersweet taste which works well with creamy avocado. The instructions may look complicated but its really not a difficult recipe. Everything can be...

Blue cheese and bitter leaves are the best of friends, sharing edgy characteristics and a faint metallic taste. Small sweet prawns and salty smoked bacon provide a lovely contrast. I used beautiful Castelfranco radicchio which looks as if its been splattered with crimson paint. But it is...

Recently I discovered a new salad packed with vitamins. While I appreciate its nutritional value, I'm not a fan of the walnuts personally. They take too long to chew, and I'm not fond of them. Any suggestions on what I could substitute for the walnuts, or perhaps a different type of nut...

The port wine dressing is robust and savoury and adds a rich base note to the tangy sweet strawberries, salty Stilton and bitter chicory flavours. Pickled walnut is optional (its a classic British thing) but don’t miss out the walnut oil in the dressing. If you really dislike blue cheese then...

I came across this recipe for a tofu, balsamic glaze, strawberries and pasta and just had to try it. It was delicious though we did need to make a few changes to the salad. My first was to use a spelt pasta that has a fantastic taste and texture. The second was to added onion powder to the...
