Sweet purple cabbage salad

2 / 27 / 152 / 19 / 16

Just look at those colours! Have you ever had purple cabbage? I had it for the first time two years ago. It was a catered lunch at the office. One of the dishes was a simple coleslaw made with purple cabbage and a sprinkle of pine nuts. It was delish. I can’t say the purple cabbage tastes any different from the regular green one but it makes such a huge difference when food just looks good and appetising.

Potato salad with sweetcorn & peas

10 / 21 / 147 / 20 / 15

Sometimes making a meal is a bit like painting… or at least I think about it like I’m painting. When I think a recipe I imagine the colours served on a plate and are they working? Making this potato salad was very much like that.

Tilapia baked in basil and garlic, served with mango and cucumber salsa

12 / 6 / 137 / 13 / 15

All these flavours can together quite nicely! I was a little concerned about the basil in the fish but it was surprisingly good, and the salsa made a great coplement.
