A bit on the side

Often we want something different to enhance or complement flavours of main course dishes.

The recipes in this book are a selection of popular side dishes to go with meat, poultry or seafood.

They can also be eaten on their own as a vegetarian-style antipasto or snacks.

All the recipes feature fresh ingredients like extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, fresh herbs and chilli - used in recipes such as tahini and garlic sauce, seeded mustard with fresh herbs, tabbouli and tandoori marinade.

There are condiments and dishes from many different cuisines.
