Today's Special: Perfect-With-Pizza Salad

-
If you are in the mood for a crunchy, robust American-style salad, as a change from limp leaves, then nothing can beat this delicious combination. It is so simple and quick, and is great as either a topping for jacket potatoes or as a mini-meal on its own. Come the summer it will be great for barbecues. We have added it to the menu of our Friday-Night-Friends-Over-Pizza-Nights.

I use deli bought coleslaw - which I find that no matter where you buy it, they always use too much mayonnaise, this is a blessing in this case as you do not need to use any more dressing - but of course you can make your own.

I tried to give it a fashionable hybrid name, but Coledorf sounds like a character from Harry Potter, so it goes by the rather unimaginative title of:

Waldorf & Coleslaw Salad


















For four people you will need:

  • 500 gm very good deli coleslaw or the ingredients to make the same
  • 1 head of celery
  • 2 apples
  • Chopped walnuts
  • Grated cheese optional
    Method:

    Whilst your friend dials a pizza:
    • Chop the celery and apple and place in a bowl, Roullier White's mango wood salad bowls are perfect for big, tuck in salads when you have friends over.
    • Mix in the coleslaw and top with the walnuts.

    The Holy Trinity: Perfumes Made by Monks

    -

    The rarefied aura that surrounds fragrance dates back to the remotest times of antiquity, when incense and fragrant oils would be offered up to the gods and deities of the ancient world. The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui...

    Bâtard Folding Picnic Knife by Lamson & Goodnow

    As author of The Best Bread Ever; Charles Van Over is expected to show everywhere up with an armful of bread. Whilst Charles enjoys breaking bread with friends; he does insist that the bread is properly sliced with a breadknife, not just ripped apart. The problem here is that bread knives are very long and with their serrated edges they are not the easiest of things to carry around. Charles wondered why a folding bread knife could not be produced and took his idea for a pocket bread knife to Lamson & Goodnow, American manufacturers of the LamsonSharp range. The Bâtard Folding Picnic knife is the result of this collaboration. At Roullier White we believe this may possibly be the best picnic knife ever made. The French word bâtard – and yes it does translate how you think it does – is a shorter and thicker type of baguette. The knife, of course, will cut everything including cheese, fruit, vegetables and as you cannot have a picnic without wine it also has an integral corkscrew. Rou...
