A quick and trendy starter to show off to your guests!
Apples, (Cox, Braeburn, Golden delicious), Egg, Parmigiano reggiano, Gherkins or cornichons, Extra virgin olive oil, White balsamic vinegar (or lemon juice), Walnuts or pecan nuts, Salt & pepper
Tastes just like the real thing because of the fish sauce.

All the ingredients were in my fridge. The flavour of the bacon and the sweet onions give it a nice touch. The dressing is so simple with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Make lots but you'll eat all of it...your bowl will be empty straightaway. It's perfect as a side dish but also goes well with fish or other main dishes.
Avocado (beauty serum) and salmon (good for collagen) are both known for their health-giving properties, so this is just a perfect dish. You don't need to cook anything, so it's ideal if you're in a hurry.
Avocado, Smoked salmon, Finely chopped onion, Cherry tomatoes, Extra virgin olive oil, Lemon juice, Dill for the garnish
You get a lovely aroma of grilled cauliflower and the fennel. If you roast the garlic, it will be even better.
Cauliflower (small), Fennel, Garlic, Cherry tomatoes or baby plum tomatoes, Baby spinach, Salt, Extra virgin olive oil, A Capers in vinegar, A Wholegrain mustard, A White vinegar, A Sea salt, A Extra virgin olive oil
This is a side dish that can be made in 5 minutes. Its fresh crunchiness and umami of the salty seaweed will stimulate your appetite! It's less than 25kcal for 100g (one person's serving), so it's ideal for those who are dieting.
Beetroot and edamame both have a very vibrant colour. You might think it's too vivid but it's a great combination. In fact, while making the video, I was eating from the plate and before I realised it, it was half finished!
Beetroot, Lemon, Extra virgin olive oil, Salt, Edamame beans (defrosted), Stilton cheese, Walnuts, Black pepper
Very simple and easy but looks so professional and beautiful because of the round mould you make it in.
Avocado, Tofu, Spring onion, Smoked salmon slices, Lemon juice, Mayonnaise, Wasabi, [Sauce], Dashi broth, Mirin, Light soy sauce, Potato starch in a bit of water
I tried making this with soy sauce or dashi granules but then I tried it with Dashida (a Korean seasoning) and it made my previous efforts look so bad!
It's a great crunchy dish because of the kohlrabi.
King prawns, Kohlrabi, Carrot, Celery, Red onion, Cress, Mint or coriander, Dressing:, Fish sauce, Water, Vinegar or lemon juice, Granulated sugar, Garlic, Chilli flakes
Mozzarella caprese is delicious but a bit watery. Put tomatoes in an oven to make them semi 'sundried' and you'll have a tastier (and not so wet) caprese!
