This is a simple summer salad with a few flavours, such as bitter, sweet, and spicy. It is stunning and a crowd-pleaser on the table.
This is mainly an assembly job of the ingredients, so it is a simple salad to make during the summer months. The bitterness from the red cabbage, or more traditionally radicchio, is balanced by the sweet-spicy dressing with mustard. The apple is also crisp and lovely, and the walnuts add nuttiness. This is a salad I loved.
This is a beautiful cookbook about a Danish chef introducing us to the country's old and modern dishes. Filled with beautiful photographs and recipes, it is a lovely addition to my library.
