Potato and Olive Salad

April 10, 2010 by Lesley W

This delicious salad is simple and zesty–the perfect choice for lunch, as an accompaniment, or as an appetizer. Similar in appearance to flat leaf parsley, fresh coriander has a distinctive pungent, almost spicy flavour. It is widely used in India, the Middle and Far East and in eastern Mediterranean countries. This potato salad is particularly good served as part of a brunch.

Pancetta and Broad bean Risotto

March 14, 2010 by Thomas K

This moist makes a satisfying, balanced meal, especially when served with cooked fresh seasonal vegetable or a mixed green salad. Add some chopped fresh herbs and Parmesan shavings as a garnish, if you like. Pancetta is dry cured pork and is the Italian equivalent of streaky (fatty) bacon-either can be used in this recipe.
