Long Description to add
Makes 12Pitta Bread
Home-made pitta bread is a million times better than the often doughy tasteless versions on offer in shops, and they're not at all difficult to make.
Makes 12 rollsQuick Brown Rolls
This recipe requires 5-6 minutes kneading and only one rise, so it is relatively quick.
Serves 4-6; halve the ingredients for 2-3Vinaigrette Dressing
It has to be said that this is always going to be a matter of personal taste according to how much acidity you like and what your preferences are as to flavourings and so on. I seem to suffer from some kind of mental handicap with dressings...
Makes 4 mini focacciaMini Focaccia Bread with Blue Cheese, Garlic and Thyme Topping
Focaccia is an Italian flat bread made with olive oil. The flavour of the oil is important, so it's advisable to use a good, strong, fruity virgin olive oil for this.
Serves 4Sautéed Leeks
It's hard to believe that such a quick recipe could produce such a delicious result, but it does!
Serves 8Green Herb and Rice Salad
This is an excellent way to serve rice, cold at a buffet party or warm with barbecue food.
Serves 2-3Cucumber with Soured Cream and Dill
Dill goes well with all cucumber or soured cream recipes. This combines both, and is a marvellous vegetable accompaniment to fish. It is also good made with some small, young courgettes.
Serves 4-6 as a first courseRoasted Red Peppers Stuffed with Fennel
These lovely peppers can be made in advance, so are perfect for entertaining as a starter - full of flavour, colour and intense flavours of Italian vegetables.
Serves 4Colcannon Potatoes
Another supremely good version of mashed potato, this is based on the Irish recipe for Colcannon potatoes, which was originally served in a fluffy pile with a sort of well in the centre that was filled with melted butter.
Serves 4, or 6 as a starterThai Bean Salad with Pink Grapefruit and Grapes
In Thailand, they use pomelo in salads, which is very similar to grapefruit. I have used pink grapefruit here, but when they're not available, you could ring the changes and use a thinly sliced, medium-sized mango.
