Think you don’t like anchovies? Well, think again leaves, trim, then wash and dry in a salad spinner. Place in large bowl. Cut the chicken into large chunks and put into lettuce bowl. Add the baguette croutons, capers and eggs. Pour in most of the dressing and delicately mix together. Plate the salad, sprinkle with the Parmesan shavings and drizzle with the last of the dressing.

For the dressing, put all the ingredients except the olive oil into a blender and blend until you have a smooth paste. With the motor still running, drizzle in the oil, not too much to start with, but adding it more rapidly as the mixture thickens. Check for seasoning and set aside. Put the chicken breasts in a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes. Cut the bread into 3/4-inch chunks, spread out on a baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 6-8 minutes until golden brown, turning once or twice during cooking, then allow to cool.

COOKBOOK, from pg. 26 nuts. Use whatever combination of salty, sour, sweet and nutty you desire. Kohl Slaw 14 ounces kohlrabi 7 ounces carrots 7 ounces white cabbage 6 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 tablespoons capers in vinegar, drained 4 tablespoons pomegranate seeds 2 tablespoons pine nuts Salt and pepper Slice the kohlrabi and carrots into very thin matchsticks. Slice the cabbage very thinly, too. Put all the vegetables into a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, season with salt and pepper, and mix together well. Sprinkle in half the capers, pomegranate seeds and pine nuts and mix again, taking care not to crush the pomegranate seeds. Divide the kohl slaw between serving dishes, then sprinkle with the remaining capers, seeds and nuts. ■ Dawson’s Caesar Salad takes you into the process of making authentic Caesar salad dressing, which involves little canned fishes called anchovies that you probably think you hate but you really don’t, especially when they’re mixed with all sorts of other delicious things. The anchovies are what gives Caesar dressing its signature tang, so just get a can and give them a shot. They are extremely salty, so if you test-taste one, be prepared.
