If your knowledge of coleslaw is limited to packs of globby, slimy bits of cabbage slathered in odd tasting mayonnaise, it's perhaps time to have your horizons broadened. Chefs have been giving this simple dish a bit of a Renaissance in recent years, led by a new interest in gourmet American-style cooking.

In this handy collection, explore the different flavours that chefs are using for their own coleslaw creations, from the apple and celeriac that complements Adam Gray's jerk turkey recipe, to Shaun Hill's eastern-inspired soy coleslaw recipe. For a simple and delicious recipe to get the kids involved with, try Andy McLeish's chicken drumsticks.
