peter gordon's fried halloumi topped with chilli, spinach, water chestnut, hazelnut, orange and sun-blushed tomato salad

After last night's outbursts, tonight I need something to tame the Grumposaurus masquerading as my wife. Particularly as I'm slightly late home not due to tonight's tasting I hasten to add, but more because I had another puncture.

Luckily I know there's nowt better to calm an Ana than half a bottle of Alsace Riesling, and anything that involves halloumi. Cheese and Wine, that's it. Oh, and diamonds. And Big Fat Gypsy Weddings...

As an aside, I'm not usually that impressed with Sainsbury's halloumi, but I think I've discovered the key to success is to cut it thickly, so you get the combination of creaminess and crispy, grilled edges.

Also, is "JubOlympic" going to be this year's catchphrase? I like to think so...
