This simple combination of ingredients truly complements one another and is a beautiful synergy of flavours, colours and textures. The vibrant colours of this salad is enough to make your mouth water. Citrus paired with a minty vinaigrette is a refreshing combination, while the sweetness of the rubies gives it just the right balance of flavours. Enjoy this salad with any protein of your choice.

This beautiful fig and onion tart is perfect for a special teatime occasion with a delicious balance between savoury and sweet – all in one tart. The pastry is made with cottage cheese and some butter, which makes it less finicky, so even if you have not made your own pastry before, then this recipe is perfect for you. I love to be creative with what’s in season and my taste buds have been craving something like this for the longest time. Yay, now I have another delicious recipe to make when figs are in season.

My mom used to make this dessert for us when I was a child and I have such fond memories of it. Treat your family to this quick summer dessert while mangoes are in season or see which other summer fruit are ideal to try. Let me know once you’ve made it.

Carrots in a whole new light! Make this impressive side dish with an everyday veggie and a good choice of seasonings, and be sure to impress your guests. It’s really easy and the sweetness of roasted carrots, with the earthiness of cumin seeds and the creamy hummus dressing, is perfectly rounded off with juicy, sweet pomegranate rubies and peppery rocket.

It’s no secret that pear and blue cheese is a fabulous combination. The same is true for this flavourful cheese and broccoli. If you then add a refreshing dressing and top it all with juicy pomegranate arils and nuts, you have side dish like no other. It’s the perfect balance between the salty blue cheese, sweetness of the fruit and crunch from the arils and roasted nuts.
