Classic Slaw — recipe
Vegetables

Classic Slaw

A proper creamy slaw that holds its texture — made with salted and drained cabbage so it stays crisp and doesn't weep into the dressing. The essential side for pulled pork rolls, hot dogs, and anything that needs a cool, crunchy contrast.

Apple and Fennel Slaw — recipe
Vegetables

Apple and Fennel Slaw

A lighter, more interesting slaw — fennel and apple with a mustard and cider vinegar dressing. The aniseed freshness of the fennel and the sharp sweetness of the apple make it the perfect counterpart to rich pork belly strips.

Simple Green Salad

A properly dressed green salad — not an afterthought. Mixed leaves, cucumber and spring onion dressed at the last moment with a sharp Dijon vinaigrette. The refreshing counterpoint to piri piri chicken and any bold, smoky main.

Grilled Peppers and Tomatoes — recipe

Grilled Peppers and Tomatoes

Whole peppers and tomatoes grilled directly over the coals until charred and blistered, served alongside Turkish kebabs in the traditional manner. The charring is what transforms them — not a garnish, but a course in themselves.
