THE BEST CREAMY COLESLAW

Steps:

• Toss together the cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.

HELOSIE FAST SLAW

Steps:

• Put the dressing and seasonings in a large plastic zip bag.
• Add the cabbage.
• Close the bag and shake, shake, shake.
• Taste better if you refrigerate for several hours (turning the bag every 30 minutes or so to distribute the dressing).

SUPERHEALTHY SLAW

Steps:

• Mix the cabbage, apple, carrots and onion in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar and mustard. Season, then pour over the vegetables. Give everything a good stir to coat in the dressing and eat immediately, or chill until you are ready to serve.

CLASSIC HOMEMADE COLESLAW

Steps:

• Remove any bruised or damaged outer cabbage leaves. Halve through the stem, and remove the dense core with a sharp knife and discard. Put cut side down onto a chopping board, and slice as finely as you can into thin shreds. You can also do this on a mandoline (you might want to quarter before slicing) or in a food processor with the shredding attachment. Tip into a bowl.
• Grate the carrots on a box grater to coarsely shred, or cut into thin strips using a julienne peeled or the grater attachment on the food processor. Tip into the bowl. Finely slice the onion, and thin as you can, and add to the bowl with the other veg. Add the herbs if using. A mixture is nice if you have some to use up.
• In a jug, whisk the mustard, mayo, yogurt and vinegar. Season well, and taste for sharpness and creamy. Add more vinegar if you like.
• Tip the dressing into the veg bowl, and mix everything together well with a large spoon. Stir so all the veg gets coated lightly in the dressing. Sprinkle with a few pinches of paprika, and serve straight away. Can be covered and chilled for up to 3 days. Mix well before serving.

SALMON PATTIES (HINTS FROM HELOISE)

Steps:

• Half fill a deep fryer or skillet with oil. Preheat while you are mixing the salmonettes. Drain all but 1/4 cup liquid off the canned salmon and set it aside. Put the salmon in a mixing bowl and break it apart with a fork until you have no big flakes. Add the flour and egg. Blend with a spoon until all of the flour is mixed in, don't overmix.
• Add the baking powder to the liquid that was set aside and beat with a fork or whisk until frothy. Immediately pour this into the salmon mixture and stir until well blended. It is important not to let the baking powder and liquid mixture sit after mixing. Pour it immediately.
• Drop the mixture by spoonfuls (small bite sized balls are the best) into the hot oil. They will brown very quickly-about 5-7 minutes. Lift them out with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
