Sauces and Dressings

Cherries cooked down with lemon and vanilla into a glossy sauce. Spoon it over yoghurt and granola, pancakes or ice cream. Keeps a week in the fridge.

Bacon-wrapped asparagus, a runny poached egg and a stick-blender hollandaise that comes together in a minute. Café brunch at home.

Crisp cos, thin apple slices and toasted walnuts in a punchy caper mayo, finished with parmesan. A salad with actual backbone.

Green cauliflower blitzed with cashews and spinach into a silky, no-cook pasta sauce. A clever way through your spring greens.

Golden, Parmesan-crumbed cauliflower steaks baked with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella — proper comfort food, no meat required.

Cool the kumara properly and the cubes hold their shape. The orange juice goes into the dressing, making a light but creamy dressing.

Rolled lamb shoulder, seared then roasted, sliced over a mint and basil gremolata with garlic, lemon and sumac. Under an hour.

Crispy panko chicken, cold cos lettuce and a proper anchovy Caesar dressing, stacked into garlic butter focaccia. Recipe by Kitty's Kitchen.
