Parsnip, Puy Lentil and Watercress Salad (4)

This simple combination makes a very good autumn salad. The recipe is from ” River Cottage Veg Everyday” by Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall.

Crunchy Salad with Lime Juice (4-6)

A fresh tasting salad typical of the Pacific coast in Costa Rica. The recipe is from ” World Food Cafe” by Chris and Carolyn Caldicott.

Wild Salmon with Jersey Royals and Watercress (4)

An early summer favourite from ” Lobster and Chips” by Trish Hilferty. The first wild salmon usually becomes available in early June, briefly overlapping with the time of year when smaller Jersey Royals are still available. Sea Trout or organic salmon can be used as an alternative, but I urge you not to use farmed salmon.

Potato and Wild Garlic Soup (4)

A seasonal soup from ” The Weekend Cook” by Angela Hartnett.

Leek and Spinach Cake (4)

A delicious green savoury cake from Bill Grainger’s ” Easy”.

Hot Smoked Salmon, Bacon and Potato Salad (4)

A Scandinavian inspired salad from ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry. You could use smoked trout or fresh salmon instead of the hot smoked salmon, and add quarters of cooked ( not pickled) beetroot if you like.

Veal Milanese (2)

A good version of this classic from ” Butter” by James Martin.

Pea, Feta and Mint Frittata with Green Salad (6)

An easy and delicious supper from Ian Haste.

Smoked Mackerel Toasties (4)

This recipe is from Chantelle Nicholson, chef/owner of zero waste restaurant All’s Well in Hackney, London.

Beetroot with Blood Orange and Radish (2)

Bright flavours for a cold day from “Greenfeast: Autumn,Winter” by Nigel Slater.

Duck Sours with Pommes Anna (2)

Another recipe from Claire Thomson’s ” Home Cookery Year” which was so good i cooked the same again for myself the next day. The Pommes Anna would go with other recipes too, and this is an easy way to make them in the oven rather than on the hob.

Duck, Olive and Orange Salad (6)

A simple and succulent salad from ” Cook at Home with Peter Gordon” .

Chicken with Sumac and Couscous (4)

A summery recipe from Nigel Slater which can be eaten hot or cold.

Orange Salad, Cretan Style (4-6)

This orange salad from the island of Crete makes a lovely lunch or light supper for warmer weather. A change from the traditional Greek Salad!

Spring Bubble and Squeak (2)

Bubble and Squeak originated as a way to use up leftover vegetables from the sunday roast- usually potatoes and brussels sprouts. But it can be worth making from scratch- i love it for breakfast with a fried egg . This version is from Nigel Slater. Cavolo Nero, Tender Stemmed Broccoli or Purple Sprouting Broccoli make a good alternative to the cabbage.
