Colourful, crunchy, juicy, tangy and with a balanced minty ginger bite, a bowl of fresh fruit salad is the perfect end to a summer’s meal.
Tomato & Orange Salad
This is so simple it hardly calls for a recipe. Peel and slice juicy oranges, top with sliced vine tomatoes, sprinkle with small mint leaves and finely sliced green chilli, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, grind over black pepper and drizzle with a fruity extra virgin olive oil. Done! A striking, sweet and zingy salad…

Leeks – all you need to know and then some
Most of us have heard of cock-a-leekie (a Scottish soupy stew made with chicken and leeks) but hat-a-leekie is something else. Why anyone would want to wear a leek in their hat is beyond me.

Brioche salad rolls

Arrange torn lettuce leaves, rocket (arugula) and radicchio leaves, or whatever you have, on a platter. Strew with fresh mint leaves, parsley sprigs and roughly chopped coriander (cilantro). Add halved cherry tomatoes…

Autumn – or fall in the northern hemisphere – is definitely with us here in New Zealand. Sun, showers, more sun, a good drenching, then sun-showers, fast-paced clouds and swirling mist, and on it goes. I’ve still got tomatoes growing, and chillies and capsicums, though everything is looking tired and ready to give up. Lettuces,…
