Turn your salads into the star of the meal. Add strips of chicken, tasty squid or warm steak to make them a more substantial dish that will have everyone coming back for more.

Add a tart

Tarts and pastries are a great, fuss free way to feed a crowd. From the traditional egg and bacon to new flavour combinations, these are a great addition to any casual lunch spread.
