| We are now approaching peak salad season, when the warm weather is excuse enough not to slave over the stove, but rather prepare beautiful fresh salad in all its guises. Our contributing chef Lennox Hastie this week presents two vintage salads: the Nicoise and the Waldorf. Both have deep back stories and offer big flavours, indeed these dishes are meals in themselves. Beautiful and healthy, these are recipes to cut and keep. There are already 80 comments on Jamie Oliver 's recipe this week for a smash burger for one. Oliver, arguably the world's highest-profile chef, makes the case in his recipe that cooking, even when cooking easy dishes like burgers, is an important act of choice. It is a choice to keep the traditions of the kitchen alive and prospering into the future. Read what he - and readers - have to say by clicking on the link. Oliver also gives us two other recipes, one for his childhood favourite, a sticky toffee pudding, another for spiced beans. There's a reason Oliver is a household name: these are fantastically achievable and tasty recipes. Happy cooking. |
