Life-Changing Condiments

Peach, Mint & Rosemary Vinegar Here is a stunning recipe for using up an abundance of plump, juicy and sweet summer peaches. This home-made vinegar is easy to make and tastes wonderful tossed through a leafy green salad with feta, and surprisingly delicious drizzled over vanilla icecream or thick natural yoghurt. Infuse the vinegar with a hint of mint and rosemary for a delicate aromatic touch; basil also pairs nicely.

The Ultimate Satay SauceSatay sauce is delicious served with chicken, as a dip or used as a salad dressing.

Eleanor Ozich's Go-To Green SalsaA flavourful and zingy salsa that beautifully complements your meals, or equally shines on its own.

Miso Dressing The miso tamarind dressing with a good dose of ginger is scrummy. Drizzle it over some char-grilled vegetables, but it is equally as good poured over some barbecued chicken, or try brushing it over fish before baking it in the oven.

Basic Tomato Pasta Sauce A basic tomato pasta sauce is perfect for many occasions. Here, it makes a quick dinner with your favourite pasta and parmesan, or you could use it as the base of a vegetarian lasagne. Or perhaps dollop on a grilled chicken breast. This sauce is great to bag up and put into the freezer, ready for any occasion.

Eleanor Ozich's Buttery Balsamic & Basil Sauce Good quality passata or chopped tomatoes are simmered on the stovetop with a splash of balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil for richness. Serve with grilled chicken, fish, chickpeas or your favourite pasta.

Caper Herb DressingUse this caper herb dressing to add depth and flavour to plain roasted vegetables. In this recipe, it transforms boring old cauliflower, into something quite irresistible.

Herbed Cream FraicheHerbed cream fraiche brings a snap of acidity and a touch of richness to a potato salad.

Parsley & Almond PestoEnjoy with grissini, roast vegetables or on the side of a salad. This pesto also works well to jazz up a piece of salmon.

Tomato KasundiThis is the best tomato chutney. It comes from India and is full of lots of wonderful Indian spices, which give it a fiery heat. Though very simple to make, it is super-versatile and matches beautifully with many dishes.

Lentil & Pumpkin HummusLemon, cumin and turmeric give warmth to this rustic dip. It goes without saying that a little toasted bread or crackers are necessary for dipping

Aubergine & Yoghurt DipThis Middle Eastern-inspired dip is quite substantial and delicious with warm Lebanese or pita bread or on the side of a salad.

Beetroot HummusEnjoy a twist on classic hummus by using roasted beetroot for a sweet and earthy taste. This pairs well salads and falafels.

Walnut & Garlic SpreadThis walnut and garlic spread recipe is great to make and have in the fridge to add a little nutty garlicky goodness to a simple meal.

Lemon Zest & Garlic AioliA decadent aioli can jazz up any boring salad greens. In this lemon and garlic recipe, it has been drizzled over roasted lettuce.

Red Pepper SauceBasil is red pepper's best friend. The two together, especially when paired with a little olive oil and garlic, is the absolute essence of the Mediterranean. In this summery dish, the deep sweetness of the roasted pepper sauce is exceptional drizzled over delicate roasted salmon. Serve warm with a green salad and crusty sourdough bread.

Lemony Paprika VinaigretteThis vinaigrette is perfect for any grain-based salads or over salad greens. In this recipe, it's drizzled over a sorghum salad with sheep's feta and grilled mushrooms.
