I’ve always loved soup, making it and eating it. Soups deserve as much care as the rest of the menu. It’s the same with salads, there is nowhere to hide with a salad – so treat the ingredients with care.

The sweet acidity of the tomatoes combined with the salty, meaty crust on the steak works brilliantly in this salad.
It’s low in calories, yet the prawns and chicken – and ton of veggies – make it really satisfying, and it smells amazing
