Soy Sauce Tofu Salad with Satay Rice Noodles and Crispy Kale Chips
On a pretty grim day this is just what I needed. I usually cook my tofu but decided to leave it raw as it is smoked and had a nice firm texture. I got the crispness from the kale chips and spring onion. Satay is one of my favourite things, I made the dressing using…

Baked Tempeh Noodle Salad with a Grapefruit Dressing
So tempeh has been around for years but it’s really just made it to the uk chain store market in the last few years it has more texture than tofu and it really soaks up the marinade. I had a grapefruit leftover from a fruit salad and thought I would make a dressing like the…
Hot Smoked Salmon on a bed of Lentils with a Grapefruit, Coriander and Mustard Dressing

Horseradish Jersey Royal Potato Salad with Roast Beef and Chive’s
I love jersey royal season, they are so creamy compared to the usual new potatoes, though I don’t mind them ever. I love a potato salad and it seems to be popular in the US I think we probably stole the idea from them. I bought some roast beef slices but I don’t think they…
Black Bean Salsa with Ham and Parmesan Corn on the Cob
I love Mexican bean salads, it’s a good way to use up spring onion tops and any herbs you have. I have tried to just grill corn on cob but it’s never tender enough so I use chef mic to tenderise them first. I recently watched a food myth programme and they tested steaming veg,…
Steak Salad with Roasted Radishes, Puy Lentils and a Goat Cheese and Kale Pesto
I’m not the biggest fan of raw radish but oven roasting takes that harsh bitterness away. I took inspiration from the Waitrose mag with this recipe. I would never of thought you could put goats cheese in a pesto but I guess why not. This salad was really delicious. I always add have a vegetable…

I thought this was mine and P’s first time trying tempeh but he reminded me we had it Bali. I remembered it straight away, we had hired a car and we were exploring the island. It was lunchtime so we looked out for a restaurant. Nestled amongst the rice paddy fields was a restaurant that…
Honey and Thyme Baked Feta Cheese Salad with Beetroot Salsa
Feta is a healthy option for a salad, I really fancied doing something different with it and thought I would have a go of baking it. I love the new texture the feta has, it’s warm, fluffy and slightly gooey but still holds it shape. The honey works so well I’ve had it in a…
