There are few things that prove summer has arrived more than a growing desire to make a potato salad. Minimal stovetop time (much needed for the random heatwave we seem to get every year), moreish, and great eaten cold, this easy recipe is smoky, tangy and puts your spice cupboard to great use. 

Desiccated coconut in savoury food is never not good. It adds a nutty, sweet flavour to everything you add it to, and this recipe is a great way to bring out those flavours in some crispy, crunchy tofu bites with a punchy dip.

Trinidadian buss up shut is the flaky, doughy, vessel you need for your favourite Caribbean currie and stews. Once you've mastered the art of rolling and laminating the dough to give the roti all its wonderful crispiness, you'll make it again and again.

Born out of not having enough ingredients for a curry as well as too few ingredients to make a stew, this hybrid dish was born and quickly became a midweek staple in my house. The potato does a lot for this dish – it soaks up the sauce, thickens it, and is only more delicious when paired with rice or roti for some double carb action.
