Side Dishes
Saffron Rice
Everybody who eats my saffron rice wants the recipe. It is one of the shining stars and the staple of my own repertoire of recipes. Cook this rice in a heavy oven dish such as a Le Creuset casserole for best results.
Salad Rouge
I prepared this recipe when all the Cuisine food writers gathered at my beach house to create our Christmas feast in 2005. I was astonished just how many readers and friends have commented that they served this dish for their family Christmas. It just shows how ‘simple’ can be terrific. Beautifully cooked vegetables are always the best part of a meal for me. This bright fresh vegetable salad with contrasting crunch and flavour adds a real hit of colour to any table. Prepare everything in advance then...
Savoury Tomatoes
When tomatoes are at their best at the end of summer, try stuffing them with a well-seasoned mixture of rice, cheese and herbs before baking in the oven. This could be served as an entrée or a lunchtime dish, accompanied by a garden-fresh salad.
Slow roasted tomato salad
This salad makes the most of the concentrated tomato flavour of the slow roasted tomatoes.
