My easy Asian Cucumber Salad makes the very best of crisp cucumbers. I like to add toasted sesame seeds, chopped chilies and some fresh coriander and mint to the salad. I then dress it with an Asian salad dressing, flavoured with garlic, ginger, soy and sesame oil.

For a change from your regular cabbage based slaws, try my Sprout Slaw with Apple and Radish. This brussel sprout slaw is full of crunch and texture, and rather than serving in a mayonnaise based dressing I opt for a honey mustard dressing.
Love egg salad? Then you have to try my Scandinavian egg salad sandwich on rye bread. This open sandwich uses fresh free range eggs, combined with fresh apple, radish and dill, for a great tasting egg sandwich that’s a joy to eat.
Easy Chinese Soup noodles with a broth flavoured with garlic, ginger, chilli and soy. Add chicken, crunchy vegetables and noodles.
