Classic Mediterranean dish using black olives, anchovies and capers. This dip is great with toasted pitta bread or crusty bread.

Artichoke and Crab Spread

Recipe by: Joanne

I bought a similar spread at the supermarket awhile back, and I thought that I could do it better and cheaper myself. I use tinned artichoke hearts, though you can buy fresh artichokes and cook them yourself.

Authentic Thai Tom Yum Soup

Recipe by: STEVE ALDER

Be the first to review it!

An authentic Thai hot and sour soup. Do not attempt to omit the coriander, as this is essential. Use thai basil instead of regular basil if you can find it. Tom yum paste is hot, so try the soup before adding the chilli and decide if any extra heat is required. You can buy the paste in Asian supermarkets or there's a brand called "Thai taste" at Waitrose. This is well worth the trouble!

Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salsa

Looking for a refreshing, sweet and spicy salsa for a warm summer evening? This is our favourite. Serve with tortilla crisps. This is also fantastic served on grilled fish. I often use jarred jalapeno chillies instead of fresh.

Mushrooms and bacon make a lovely pair. It can't get simpler than this recipe. Use cocktail sticks to hold the bacon in place while cooking. I usually have to make a double batch of this party favourite to satisfy our guests.
