Gratin of Potatoes with Olive Oil and Freshly Dried Bay Leaves
Potatoes are a staple in my cooking. I love them simply roasted or mashed with butter and herbs. For a special occasion I love to prepare this gratin, which is soft and flavoursome. If you have a mandoline you will be able to cut very fine, even slices, but a sharp knife and careful cutting will produce a good result. Be sure to select a firm, waxy variety that will keep its shape, such as Rua, Desiree or Nadine.
Greek Salad
With flavours and textures as fresh and crisp as these it is not hard to see why this salad has become such a classic.
Green Bean and Roasted Coconut Salad with Chilli Lime Dressing
This is a delicious blend of crisp beans and coconut, charged with a tangy lime dressing that will make your taste buds tingle.
