4 large ciabattas
2 Buffalo mozzarella, ripped into small pieces
1 pack of cherry tomatoes

Honey
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Preparation:
Cut the ciabatta’s lengthways and fill with all the filling ingredients, however way you see fit!

A salad of caramelised peach with rocket, Wensleydale cheese and Parma Ham with sourdough croutons
by Peter Sidwell
Wine Suggestion: Saint Veran, White Bourgogne.
Serves 4.
Ingredients
4 peaches
200g rocket leaf
100g Wensleydale cheese
8 slices of Parma Ham
100g of sourdough or a baguette
30ml olive oil

1 handful of basil leaves
Preparation
Cut the bread into chunks and wrap the ham around the bread and place them onto a baking tray
Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake in the oven at 180c for 12-15 minutes
The ham will crisp up and the flavour will soak into the bread to create a wonderful texture and flavour in the salad
Cut the peaches in half and remove the stone, then heat a non-stick frying pan
Place the peaches cut side down into the pan and cook without moving them for five to six minutes to allow them to caramelise, then remove from the heat and leave to cool
Place the peaches and ham croutons onto a large plate
Top with the rocket and basil leaves
Crumble the Wensleydale cheese over the salad
Mix the white wine vinegar and olive oil together to make a light dressing and drizzle over the salad
Mascarpone, Dark Chocolate and Hazelnut Cannoli
