Bili's Summery Salads

 Now we all know the main reason for coming out here is the wildlife! 

What a handsome fellow!

But the thing that makes this place extra special is the whole Bushcamp experience. And for me one of the absolute highlights is the food. Isaac and Dixon are constantly coming up with such delicious culinary delights, I often get guests asking for recipes and suggesting the chefs make a cook book. That may be a while in the making so in the meantime, my two chefs at Bili and I decided we would start a foody blog. We agreed it might be quite nice to share a few of their secrets! 

So for those of you who dont know, below are the two Bilimungwe chefs - Dixon on the left and Isaac on the right.

We decided to start with some Summery Salads for those of you looking for packed lunch inspiration. Nice and easy so no excuses not to give them a go!

Isaac and Dixon's Healthy salad

Green and yellow pepper

Broccoli, Cauliflower and Carrots all should be steamed until tender

You can add baby corn and baby marrow but today we were out of these goodies.

Coriander (or any fresh herb you have in the fridge is Isaac's suggestion)

Salt and pepper

Olive oil

Isaac and Dixon's Apple and Brocolli Salad

Sliced Apple

Steam Broccoli until tender

Blue Cheese

Iceberg lettuce 

Olive oil

I realise the big plates might not be so practical for taking to work with you, I may have to get my Mum (a certifiable expert in the field of plastic storage devices) to write me a Tupperware feature.

But if it is presentation you are interested in, why stop at just the plates?!

Jason our waiter has some very neat little tricks for making your table look as delicious as your food.

I understand of course that most of you won't have Elephant Biscuits from the Winterthorn Tree floating around your back garden, but get creative!

This was just a taster to get an idea of interest in this blog. So feedback would be very much appreciated, and if there are any recipes you wished you'd asked for on your last visit please let me know so that me and the team can feature them in our next blog! Emails to Katie.stacey@gmail.com.

Happy eating!
