Well, the beta site is already working for me - I was just having a wander through and looked at the excellent food slideshow in the main banner - hmmm... toasted sesame seeds sprinkled over tonight's warm salad.... yum. Digging deeper, I liked the ingredient-specific recipes: great if you are in a Southern Hemisphere winter like me. Looking forward to the live site, well done.

My goodness, I could eat this everyday! It is delicious. I didn't add the coriander, not being a big fan, so can vouch that it doesn't depend on it. Strongly recommend this dish! Though calling it a salad is pushing it...

This is probably my favourite recipe on this site and a regular on our lunch menu! Even though there are few ingredients (we never use coriander but always add croutons) it tastes divine. I have poached the salad dressing and use it all the time for a healthy, zingy, fresh and easy addition to salad leaves. Absolutely delicious and one everyone should try at least once (but I can almost guarantee you'll revisit it!).

A triumph! My daughter and I really loved it. I swapped the cherry tomatoes for red pepper. I roasted the red onion and red pepper and added the zest of the lemon and some haricot beans. Will definitely make this again! Thank you!

Very tasty and full of protein. We loved it for dinner and it also was very tasty the day after, for lunch! Will make it again.

halloumi is usually made using goats and sheeps milk and rennet (enzyme from animals stomach) to set it. Therefore I don't think halloumi cheese can be classed as vegetarian. Sorry veggies!

Absolutely great. I didn't have time to cook lentils so I used orange ones and they turned into mash but its the first time I've tried halloumi and I love it.
