Asparagus with anchovy eggs

Recipe by: Chrissie Lloyd

Be the first to review it!

The best asparagus grows nearest home and reaches you without air miles, for a few short weeks in late May and June. It is so good it demands only the simplest of treatments, and is a natural partner to scrambled eggs.

Aubergine Rounds

Recipe by: BAWARCHI

Be the first to review it!

Savoury aubergine with a hint of spice. Serve as a starter, side, or use to top toasties with lots of melted cheese. I recommend grilling these rounds rather than frying, but they are delicious either way!

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 with Garlic Ginger Dressing

Recipe by: JOSIE

Reviews(1)

Here is a very simple way of enjoying avocados as a starter.

Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salsa

Recipe by: FHIVESHOT

Be the first to review it!

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.

This is a healthy, colourful chopped summer salad, featuring the fresh flavours of avocado, tomato and green pepper. It's practically a salsa - make sure to use large, ripe avocados.

Baba Ghanoush

Recipe by: Winky

This is a heavenly roasted aubergine dip which originates from Lebanon. Delicious served with pitta, vegetables and houmous as part of a meze platter, or - of course - on it's own!

Barley and Mushrooms with Cannellini Beans

Recipe by: Niki Plourde

A simple, hearty and tasty vegetarian dish. Good as a light main, side, or wrapped in a flour tortilla with cheese. I always make a double batch and freeze some.

Barley Mushroom Risotto

Recipe by: MOLSON7

Reviews(1)

This barley risotto is delicious, healthy and filling. It makes a nice side dish for steak or roasted meats, and also works as a starter or light main - especially when you want to serve something a little different.
