How to pair sides with your main

Balance is the rule: rich mains like lasagna and cottage pie need something fresh or crisp, while lighter mains like cod and crab cakes suit a starch. Spicy dishes such as tacos and chicken curry pair well with cooling sides, and holiday roasts like beef Wellington want classic vegetables.
