Well the Haggis salad recipe I made this week was a recipe I invented on the spot using the ingredients in the fridge and freezer.

I like the savoury flavour of haggis it is very spicy and tasty

In the UK we are all getting involed in the latest trend to eat seasonal food. To me this is like going back to my childhood when all food was seasonal. I do prefer this as foods are then a real treat but I do like blueberries all year round ! Another thing is that our suppiers of food all year round happen to often be African countries that depend on us to increase their wealth. Food is politics

The nasturtian leaves could be really nice served with a dressing of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. It would make it sweeter and take out some of the peppery flavour. I would use half and half oil and vinegar plus some salt and pepper to taste, herbs could be added for a fresh flavour. Has anyone else any suggestions on how to use these leaves in salads? Thanks for reading Crazycupcakes

These home grown flowers and leaves are edible and taste rather peppery. Add them to salads for an exotic look with edible flowers. I have even used them on cupcakes. They could be a good soup garnish as well. Enjoy Crazycupcakes.

This is a salad I like to serve as a starter because it is tangy and refreshing. From a diet point of view advocado has a lot of fat but apparently it is the right type of fat and has omega 3 in it and is good for us as part of a varied diet. Oranges are always a good source of vitamin C and contain lots of fibre. To add an unusual flavour I have sprinkled lots of chopped fresh Tarragon over
