A bit of a mouthful of a title.. However, this is a great dish to spice up the usual lamb roast for summertime. The dressing is delectable and the salad, refreshing and light. The sumac adds a lovely lemony flavour and mixed with the fresh lemon is delicious.READ MORE
I call this my Christmas salad, because it has all the right colours – red, white and green and really does look the picture on the Christmas table. Even the feta added before serving looks almost like snow, aw… READ MORE
This is a tasty little pasta salad which has flown out the door the times I’ve made it. It will go great with any grilled meats, and so it’s a great side for a barbie, perhaps in place of potato salad. READ MORE
I haven’t made this relish for ages. For a while there, it was something everyone received for Christmas, but I have moved on to olives and sweet things in recent years. That said, this is a delicious little accompaniment to cold meats, perfect on the table on Christmas Day with turkey and ham and great for sandwiches too. READ MORE
I just love beetroot. The flavour of fresh beets from the ground can’t be beaten, so earthy and sweet, and the colour is just so gorgeous.READ MORE

My sister in law loves this salad – this one’s for you Casey! It’s a variation on the mayo-only potato salad using some mayo, but mainly sour cream. But don’t be fooled, it’s very rich and the sauce tastes suspiciously like Big Mac Special Sauce, only yummier. READ MORE
My good friend Sophia first gave me this recipe. She’s a great food related resource and I always tell her what we’re having for dinner! The boy loves his salad and the Israeli kind gets a regular run at our place. You can mix it up anyway you like – add fennel, spring onions, radishes – anything crunchy will work well as long as it’s finely diced.READ MORE
