With her eye for style, interiors expert and TV presenter Linda Barker likes her food to look good, too.

A dish with style and substance

Linda began her career as an innovative decorative painter and interior design consultant, and quickly moved into TV where she hosted Changing Rooms and House Invaders where people's houses were transformed. She also has her own successful interiors product range.

Her dad was a wholesale butcher, so she loves a good cut of meat. This recipe for Seared Beef with Vegetable and Potato Salad is exactly the kind of food she grew up eating and still cooks today, full of healthy vegetables that are the perfect foil for the beef. Linda’s parents had a vegetable patch to grow their own peas and beans.
