Tips from the chef

Tip 1

"You can use white or green asparagus in this recipe. Let your choice depend on the season and the market price. My preference is for white asparagus, as they are slightly more tender."

Tip 2

"You can also mix the herb mayonnaise and mimosa together for a ready-made egg salad. Add (optional) extra colour and flavour with a sprinkle of paprika."

Tip 3

"Swap smoked salmon for smoked or regular ham. Prefer a vegetarian version? Then omit the fish or meat and include extra vegetables and/or fresh green herbs, such as chives."

Did you know?

The Country Style baguette is available in white and brown, whole or demi. What makes the Country Style unique? The baguettes have a rustic look and feel, thanks in part to the flour on the crust. They also have a distinctive flavour thanks to the rich grain mix of wheat, rye and malt. This blend offers a special toasted flavour.
