Answer 1

This is delicious - at least I think so - and quick. You need to do two things, thus:

1. Get an iceberg lettuce, cut it into bite-size pieces, put into the fridge (the colder it is the better). At the same time hunt for your best bottle of French dressing, the more mustardy the better.

2. Chop some steak into bite-size pieces and fry in a little oil with chili and cumin. Open a tin ot two of chick peas (garbanzo beans), drain them, and add to the meat mixture. Keep cooking and tasting until they feel Mexican. Keep that mixture as hot as you can.

Then for each person you need a bowl - a shallow soup plate is ideal. Pour the dressing over the lettuce and mix it well with your hands, then arrange in the bowls leaving a hollow in the centre. Tell everybody to sit down at the table. Then put a pile of the meat mixture into the centre of the salad and enjoy.

This dish is great because of the contrasts - cold lettuce, hot meat; crisp lettuce, soft chick peas, chewy meat; mustard in the dressing and the chili/cumin flavour. It's not elegant to eat but I've never seen any left-overs.

Answer 2

Pesto-Crusted Grilled Cheese
Serves 4


If you don’t own one please pop for a big electric gridlle – about 40 or 50 bucks – and you can easily make 4 of these at once.

Notice there is no butter in this one; you’ll get plenty of great flavor from the pesto sauce.


1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp jarred pesto sauce
8 sourdough bread slices
4 (1-oz.) Provolone cheese slices
4 (1-oz.) Cheddar cheese slices

Stir together mayonnaise and pesto sauce and spread evenly on 1 side of each sourdough bread slice. Lay them, pesto sides down, on wax paper.

Place on them 1 Provolone slice and 1 Cheddar slice and top with remaining bread slices, pesto sides up.

Cook them on a medium-hot griddle or in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, gently pressing with a spatula, 2 or 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cheese becomes nice and gooey – m-m-m-m-m--BOY!.

Answer 4

PASTA SALAD
350 g (12 oz) short pasta (fusilli or penne)
7 ripe but firm tomatoes, peeled and cubed
85 g (3 oz) black olives, stoned
3 fillets of anchovies, chopped
4 tablespoons dried or fresh chives

Meanwhile prepare the dressing. Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and stir.
Cook pasta "al dente", drain it in the colander and run under cold water in order to stop its cooking. Add pasta to the mixture and stir well. Let chill at least 2 hours before serving but bring back to room temperature to serve.

2 tbsp olive oil
½ onion, peeled and diced

1. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onion for 5-6 minutes, until lightly browned.

4. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.
