Sweet potato snacks
“For easy entertaining, prepare the bases and your choice of toppings in advance. Build the snacks a few hours ahead and leave them in the fridge, removing them 10–15 minutes before serving, so they are not too cold.”

Herbed Cranberry and Chicken Salad
“The secret to keeping this salad looking attractive is to dress it halfway so that the fragrant herbs retain their vibrant greens and don’t arrive at the table limp and soggy. Herbs are such a useful way to add flavour and texture to a salad. The slightly spicy chives contrast perfectly with the sweet cranberries, while the earthy parsley balances beautifully next to the stimulating blue cheese. All in all, these herbs provide an unexpected punch of flavour to this salad.”
From The Ultimate Salad Book by Chantal Lascaris
Protein-packed Berry Ice Cream
“Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and cherries all make delicious ice cream. The deep red, purple and blue pigments of berries are often associated with increased levels of antioxidants and the promise of healthy ageing.”
