About

The recipes in this section are often used as garnishes to make dishes look exciting and to give flavour diversity. Alternatively, you can use them as side dishes and accompaniments – some even make good snacks, starters or party food.

Perhaps most importantly, though, keep a few of these dishes in your fridge and/or freezer and you will never be more than a few minutes away from having fabulously flavoursome dishes on your table. They can be used to lift and give zip to simple dishes such as a soup, a baked potato or a green salad, but many also make wonderful pasta sauces (see feature) or can be used as the basis of richly aromatic curries and noodle dishes.
