A delicious summer standard at our place. Easy to make with a mix of Southern European and Middle Eastern flavours. I use my Cucumber Raita (posted separately) to dress the lamb salad or you can use the quick yoghurt dressing provided here.

Smoky chipotle black bean soup built from dried beans, cumin, oregano, and a bruised-cilantro bouquet. Finished with sherry, lime, and part-pureed for creamy-chunky texture.

Copycat Pappasito's creamy poblano soup with sauteed peppers, carrots, and onion in a butter-cream roux, finished with melted Monterey Jack cheese. Rich, spicy, and restaurant-quality.

This quick and easy to make salad is tasty and flavorful, the roasted bell peppers, white beans, and feta cheese go very well with the mixed greens, tossed with a very light vinaigrette, which gives the salad a refreshing taste.

Light Greek yogurt cheesecake with a melba toast and walnut crust, topped with dried figs poached in an ouzo syrup with cinnamon stick and orange zest. A Mediterranean twist on cheesecake that skips the heaviness.

Cuban-style navy bean soup simmered with smoked ham, salt pork, butternut squash, and potato in a sofrito-tomato base. Thick, smoky, and deeply satisfying.

Spinning out the juice from cherry tomatoes makes the salad tasty but not watery. You can use this technique in all the tomato salads. And the reduction of the tomato juice adds the tangy flavor to the dressing.

Grilled steak and peppers vinaigrette stacks sirloin over butter-braised leeks and tops it with charred Cuban peppers in a Dijon-red wine dressing. A bistro-style three-layer plate.

A glazed Christmas ham brushed with apricot-sherry glaze, warmed with cinnamon and star anise, and crusted in brown sugar, served with a crisp, fresh fennel coleslaw in a herby yogurt dressing. A festive feast pairing.

Leek, asparagus and herb soup pureed with potatoes, chives, parsley, dill, and chervil into a silky spring-green soup. Finished with lemon and a dollop of yogurt. Lighter than cream-based soups but just as satisfying.

Sicilian tomato pesto with toasted pine nuts, fresh basil, Parmesan, and red pepper flakes folded with chopped tomatoes and tossed through linguine. Bright, rustic, and ready in 30 minutes.

Valencian red beans and rice with bell peppers, fresh tomatoes, pimento-stuffed olives, allspice, and cilantro. A one-pot Caribbean-meets-Spanish vegetarian dish.

Potato gnocchi with wild mushrooms: pillowy handmade gnocchi from salt-baked potatoes, tossed with morels, porcini, shiitakes, and oyster mushrooms in a garlic-shallot pan sauce with Parmesan.

Incredibly rich, red wine flavor infused into the rice perfectly with the tomato and cheese. Typically from Northern Italy, choose a Pinot Noir or any other good Italian drinking wine.
