Spin up a salad
It's either a feast or a famine: we've just been through the hungry gap in the garden and now suddenly there's an abundance of produce everything is leaping out of the ground. Tomatoes and cucumbers are not yet ripe but there's lots to be going on with.
This week, with the sun beaming down, we've been eating lots of salad. I've just got a particularly exciting new book called The Well-Dressed Salad, published recently by Pavilion Books. The author, Jennifer Joyce, looks glowing, as though she has been eating gorgeous healthy salad all her life. Jennifer was born in the US but her passion for food comes from her Italian heritage. She has travelled extensively and has developed a very eclectic lifestyle. Look out for her articles on food in Elle Deco and the Weekend Telegraph. If you'd like to catch one of her cooking classes, contact Books For Cooks or Divertimenti in London.
