Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Salad of chick peas, cucumbers & preserved lemon

    • Melanie on January 15, 2016

      Tasty but could have had more preserved lemon. Enjoyed eating this salad wrapped in cos leaves.

      I agree with Melanie - I would err on the side of a little more preserved lemon. Nonetheless, a very quick & tasty salad that went really well with lamb kofte wraps.

  • Winter salad of lentils, celeriac, mushrooms & fresh goat's cheese with parsley vinaigrette

    • mattvangent on October 26, 2023

      I used flat leaf parsley. The nut oil is probably a bit of a wank - I had macadamia oil though, so used that. I just used aged balsamic vinegar as that is what I had. I didn’t use celeriac as it’s so expensive and I don’t like celery. I only used 80g of goat cheese- $4:50 from Woolies - it was smooth vs crumbly, but this was fine - I liked it better when the goats cheese was all through the salad like part of the dressing vs chunks anyway. The sage was too strong when fresh, barely noticeable once marinated a few hours - you could probably dispense with it. The whole thing was better after marinating a few hours, good cold, and still good next day. Great with steak or lamb cutlets and a glass of Shiraz.

Here are entrée salads to stimulate the appetite, side salads to refresh the palate, and warm salads that serve as a meal in their own right. Learn how to perfect classic salads, such as niçoise, and how to marry a range of tastes and textures to create a chicken salad with asparagus, peaches and a pistachio nut vinaigrette, and a sweet salad of strawberry, orange and red wine.
