Last year I attended a Cuppa for Cansa High Tea at Tokai Melomed, which Kamini Pather hosted. She demo’d Risotto Milanese which is a traditional Italian dish flavoured with Saffron.

This dish was inspired by a salad I ate at my friend Mariette’s house. It was so amazing, I was obsessed with the flavours and wanted to re-create it so I could eat it over and over again. Her salad had Swiss chard, courgette ribbons, asparagus, avocado and feta all drenched in this delicious honey,
I use Pinterest for a lot of things, it’s great for food inspiration, like if you have a lonely ingredient in the fridge and don’t know what to do with it just type in “asparagus” and see what recipe roulette you get. I’ve been through the gluten free, sugar free, wheat free, dairy free phases
