Polly’s chicken fat mayo is a bit of kitchen magic, a silky, savoury dressing made from the by‑product of a roast chicken and whipped up in under a minute. Using a homemade Mellow Yellow mayonnaise makes it even more special, bringing a slightly nutty flavour and that signature vibrant golden colour.

Here, it’s served with a classic chicken‑and‑chips combo, but trust us: this mayo is just as good spooned alongside a roast dinner or drizzled over anything that needs a hit of richness and comfort. Next level deliciousness!

We tasked ex-delicious mag recipe creator, Pollyannna Coupland to create a mayo masterclass for us, illustrating the basics of mayo making, plus four delicious ways to enjoy it. Mayonnaise is so much more than a delicious sauce, it’s a brilliant binder and works a little technical wizardry when it comes to adding texture and flavour to different dishes. The one batch of mayo below makes all four of Polly’s recipes.

There’s something seriously satisfying about sweet, oven-roasted tomatoes with creamy, salty whipped feta served on crusty sourdough. It’s a texture hit, but also offers some incredibly bold flavours with just 8 ingredients! Our special edition Blackberry Vinaigrette is the hero here – ramping up the flavour of both the tomatoes and the whipped feta. The perfect dish for a brunch or light lunch.

A true seasonal delight, our wild garlic pesto is a must-try during the small window that it is in season. It can be found from February to May but the plant reaches its full leafy glory in April which makes it the PERFECT time to head out on a foraging expedition!

We’ve stuck to the classic pesto flavours for this one; lemon for zing, pine nuts and parmesan for nuttiness and a little extra garlic clove to complement the punchy wild garlic flavour. Serve it over pasta, spread on bruschetta or add a little extra oil for a pesto dressing for salad, fish, chicken or new potatoes.

We’ve combined all the flavours of falafel in this great salad, but without the faff of making actual falafel! The result is a type of deconstructed dish that’s layered with flavour and beautiful clashing textures that are a joy to eat. Cooked quickly and easily in the air fryer (or roasted in the oven), we combine chickpeas with onions, garlic and spices, our Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil working its magic to bring everything together in one delicious mixture.

Served on a bed of salad leaves with refreshing pickled red cabbage and onion slaw, a topping of creamy whipped feta finishes things off perfectly. Enjoy as a BBQ side or tasty mid-week meal.

These pan fried Brussels sprouts by Owen at Food4Lovers are such a great celebration of the season and make a glorious main or side dish.

Spooned onto a bed of whipped feta with toasted pine nuts, pomegranate seeds and a hot garlicky Mellow Yellow dressing, it’s a triumph of a dish that’s cosy, comforting and absolutely delicious.

This warmly spiced vegan cauliflower dish is roasted in baharat seasoning for a comforting, nutritious and fresh mid-week meal.

All made using our wonderfully versatile and healthy Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil.

This decadent roasted tomato relish is a delight to make in the summer when tomatoes are at their best. Bringing a touch of magic to burgers, cheese boards, charcuterie, salads, sandwiches and more – it’s hugely versatile and positively bursting with flavour.

We roast the tomatoes in the oven first with our Mellow Yellow Balsamic Vinegar Dressing to ooze out every inch of flavour, before simmering them low on the hob to create a beautiful thick relish.
