When our friend Dom In The Kitchen announced he was publishing his book: Upside Down Cooking, our first question was, what shall we cook?! After much deliberation, we settled on this French Onion Soup Tarte Tatin. Not only is it a perfect example of the simplicity and flavour that can be achieved with Dom’s upside-down cooking method, it also paired perfectly with our new Blackberry Vinaigrette.

The gloriously golden shallots with nutty gruyere and golden puff pastry are an absolute treat and one we think you’ll want to repeat time and time again. So delicious!

Note: You’ll need a 25cm heavy-based oven-proof frying pan.

This simple salad by Jenny at The Salty Chilli is a true celebration of summer. Packed with seasonal asparagus, radishes and new potatoes, and drizzled in our Mellow Yellow Honey & Mustard Dressing, it’s a fresh, punchy and flavour-packed meal that’s perfect to enjoy outside in the garden.

There’s something seriously satisfying about sweet, oven-roasted tomatoes with creamy, salty whipped feta served on crusty sourdough. It’s a texture hit, but also offers some incredibly bold flavours with just 8 ingredients! Our special edition Blackberry Vinaigrette is the hero here – ramping up the flavour of both the tomatoes and the whipped feta. The perfect dish for a brunch or light lunch.

The perfect pairing for cheese, cured meats and olives – grissini is a guaranteed hit for al fresco get togethers. Originating in Turin in Italy, around the 17th century, they were initially created as a way to provide a long, easily-eaten bread that wouldn’t go stale quickly. But we don’t think you’ll need to worry about these hanging around for too long – they are deliciously moreish.

We’ve used some sourdough starter in this recipe but they are just as good with instant yeast and refreshingly simple to make. Enjoy them with our wild garlic pesto and smoked hummus, or an antipasti platter.

Bellissimo!

We’ve combined all the flavours of falafel in this great salad, but without the faff of making actual falafel! The result is a type of deconstructed dish that’s layered with flavour and beautiful clashing textures that are a joy to eat. Cooked quickly and easily in the air fryer (or roasted in the oven), we combine chickpeas with onions, garlic and spices, our Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil working its magic to bring everything together in one delicious mixture.

Served on a bed of salad leaves with refreshing pickled red cabbage and onion slaw, a topping of creamy whipped feta finishes things off perfectly. Enjoy as a BBQ side or tasty mid-week meal.

With this fabulous air fryer recipe you can make authentic prawn toast, with that wonderful unctuous taste of the deep fried version, but with much less fat!

We served them with a Mellow Yellow Chilli Oil honey and soy dip.

These pan fried Brussels sprouts by Owen at Food4Lovers are such a great celebration of the season and make a glorious main or side dish.

Spooned onto a bed of whipped feta with toasted pine nuts, pomegranate seeds and a hot garlicky Mellow Yellow dressing, it’s a triumph of a dish that’s cosy, comforting and absolutely delicious.

The perfect picky food for an NYE soiree, these pork stuffing potstickers by Chloe at Life & Fork are fun to make and a real treat to share with friends. Our Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil has a high smoke point that makes it perfect for achieving that lovely golden crispy exterior and it’s infused with sage here, giving the potstickers a wonderful flavour.

We suggest making more than one batch and freezing in advance because these are guaranteed to be gobbled up quickly!

Boasting bold flavours and satisfying textures, this delightful sprout salad by Sorrels Kitchen makes a wonderful side dish for entertaining over the festive period.

We recommend enjoying this right up until the end of March when sprouts season comes to an end. It’s simply too good to be confined to the Christmas menu!
