January Superfood Salad

How would you like to start the New Year by winning vouchers to Waitrose Cookery School with Robert Welch? Read on, and I will tell you about a fantastic competition which will provide you with the chance of doing so…

I went along to a #MeatlessMonday cookery course hosted by Robert Welch at the newly opened Waitrose cookery school(King’s Cross) last month and learned how to make one of the tastiest vegetarian dishes I have eaten in a very long time. A chestnut mushroom, butternut squash and goats cheese pithivier served with chestnut cream and a bitter leaf salad. The dish was so good that I am going to be recreating it for any vegetarians that come along to my forthcoming supper clubs.

The Waitrose cookery school is set in the heart of Granary Square, one of my new favourite parts of London. King’s Cross is unrecognisable from the 80s/90s. Growing up in London and partying with friends in Caledonian Road as a student as well as working in Pentonville Road for a stint one summer,the streets were seedy, grimy and littered with dealers and ladies of the night. Now it’s all glamour and style.  The Guardian, St. Martin’s school of art  and Bruno Loubet’s Grain Store now belong to this area of regeneration.

The Waitrose cookery school fits perfectly into this area of creativity and the arts. The school is modern, stylish and stacked full of everything I could ever wish for in my own kitchen including a full range of Robert Welch knives for pupils to use.

Robert Welch has partnered with Waitrose cookery school for their January #EATWELL campaign, encouraging us all to appreciate healthier foods and just how tasty they can be. Georgina Davies has also created a selection of recipes for Robert Welch highlighting nutritious, feel-good foods.

    Now that’s my kind of salad! Really so full of colour, texture and taste that it demands your attention – and a fork. 🙂 Lucky you to have the full Waitrose experience. Looks like it was loads of fun as well as delicious.

I’ve been asked alot recently if I have any alte I’ve been asked alot recently if I have any alternative bakes for gluten free and egg free/ dairy free diets. The answer is yes although I’ve noticed most of them are chocolate based, mainly because I love anything chocolate and enjoy the leftovers. These are gluten free dulce de leche brownies and I also make a great vegan chocolate cake as well as gluten and dairy free cupcakes. I actually prefer these brownies to regular ones.
