Maple Vinaigrette

A simple and tasty vinaigrette for your salads. This vinaigrette was part of a RSC recipe entry. Makes easily enough for 4 large salads

Refreshing Cannellini Bean Salad

A wonderfully refreshing bean salad, great served alongside BBQ meats. Every now and again I’ll add in a chopped tomato or two.

Tomato Salad – Domates Salatasi

This salad goes well with most Turkish meals, particularly in summer when tomatoes are at their best. You can arrange the salad any way you like, I have listed the way I prefer to arrange the salad. If you wish to peel the tomatoes and cucumber you may however it is not necessary. You can make this salad one hour before serving. Original recipe comes from a book called “Turkish Cookbook” by Tess Mallos

Aussie Bikkies (Crackers) With Cheese and Onion

Traditional Australian snack for when unexpected guests drop by. To be truly authentic the cheese must be the very cheapest brand available and the crackers a little stale. Use a good and strong fresh onion though so your guests don’t know the difference.

Basil & Tomato Salad

I promise this is one of the nicest ways to enjoy quality tomatoes and basil. Like I say, don’t make this if you can’t get hold of home-grown or vine-ripened tomatoes. It’s not worth doing. And don’t use your tomatoes from the fridge.
