Today is the day, my book officially goes on sale. I’m excited, terrified and a little bit giddy.
I made a little video to tell you a little more about the book:
Why a salad book?
Well first off, I love a good salad. It has to be a really good salad though. None of that default salad using just flavourless lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber. That’s the most depressing salad in the world. No, I like my salad to be a filling, tasty, full and satisfying meal. It usually starts with something I’m craving - like Chinese duck, buttermilk chicken or spicy Turkish eggs, and then I build around that, using nutritious, vibrant and tasty ingredients to complement it. The result is a meal that’s all about flavour, satisfaction and balance.
Maybe I’ll fry up crispy coated fish, but then I’m going to serve it as part of a zingy taco bowl with grilled corn, avocado, baby salad leaves and a creamy coriander (cilantro) lime dressing. Or maybe I’ll go for crispy bacon, served with pea shoots and peas with a light lemon dressing. Or serve griddled slices of steak with a lovely garlicky Argentinean chimichurri dressing on a great big sharing platter with vine tomatoes, radish, avocado, red onion salad leaves, along with warm flatbreads and sour cream. Yep - that’s one of the recipes from the book that I’m sharing with you today.
