Grilled Pineapple Salad - Asian Style

This salad is the perfect side dish to a curry and rice or noodle meal. the freshness of sweet pineapples, gently grilled with Chinese 5 spice powder and chilies, a dash of soya sauce and lot's of fresh basil and spring onions - this dish is a burst of flavour and color on the table. i also like to make this dish much ahead to allow the flavours to really infuse!

Grilled Orange + Burrata Salad

Adapted from SIMPLE by Ottolenghi This was the recipe I made for the September 2025 Cookbook Club and whilst the original had grapes, my mother did not allow me them bc of the cold I had (almost 40 and still need the wrath of my mother!). Oranges work beautifully here and the marinade-cum-dressing with toasted fennel seeds are just a brilliant combination!

Mango Peanut Salad

Mango season means mangoes are innocently weaving its way into all our meals. This is a great way to add a fresh salad to any meal with a simple delicious dressing that complements the sweetness of mangoes beautifully. The crunch of peanuts and sesame seeds is just brilliant juxta positioning. For this salad I am partial to Badami Mango for it’s sturdiness and tartness. But alphonso works just as well. As do all other mangoes – it is the king of fruits for a reason!
