This recipe is from Chef Curtis Grace. He was a fairly well known Southern chef starting in the early 1970s, though he had opened his catering business in mid 1960s. I remember when he was just starting his catering business in the town I grew up in. My mother would go to his shop and pick up...

Over the years I've veered away from using vinaigrettes in salads. I've found that even though I'm light-handed with the vinegar and much more heavy-handed with oil, I still find the taste of the vinegar a distraction. I much prefer a simple EVOO (lol) dressing for most simple cold salads. This...

Matki is a type of pulse commonly used in India. It is also sold as Moth Beans (pronounced ‘mote’). It can be cooked just like mung beans or lentils but is delicious (and nutritious) when sprouted. You could substitute sprouted mung beans if you can’t obtain matkhi. To sprout the matkhi, first...

One of may favourite salads - what do you include in yours? Fresh or tinned tuna? Black olives? Green beans? My favourite version has soft boiled eggs, tinned tuna, new potatoes, anchovies and black olives. I can take or leave the green beans.

On this YouTube video, Jamie Oliver makes mention of the leaves to put in a salad. He states that which comes in bags is convenient but makes for an inferior product. He then mentions something called "salad head." Does he literally just mean buying fresh lettuce and other produce as opposed...

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...
