Chef Tips

Endives should be a beautiful creamy white with pale yellow-green tops, and be tender yet crisp. Avoid buying any that are bruised, brown or wilted.

Pomegranates can be fiddly to separate from the fruit. Luckily many stores sell the seeds on their own and although they are more expensive this way, it makes for easy.
