LIKE PRAWNS? YOU'LL LIKE THESE...
Moules Marinière. From my travels through France, to my MasterChef days. Here is the secret to my immunity winning recipe…
Clam Pasta - Spaghetti Alle Vongole - Delicious; whatever you want to call it, this dish is a big time hit and one you can whip out and whip up quick quick 🐚
Tequila Kingfish Ceviche, inspired by the memories of travel through Central America (c. 2009)
This dish screams summer. It pops with flavour and freshness that you want on a warm summer day cooking on the BBQ (or in this case the outdoor teppanyaki plate!). Prawns work perfectly here but you could mix it up with large chunks or white fish, squid, baby octopus or even crab or bugs!
My love for fried rice is never ending and the love for Leftover Fried Rice is high on the fried rice list! I love that time of the week where I have a bucket load of rice leftover and then a whole heap over other bits and pieces that will come together perfectly in the wok!
Rich, tasty, packed full of flavour and easy as to make, this Baked Fish dish is so so good, and even better that it is a one pan wonder and can be made for one or made for a 100!
Fish, Pea & Herb Orzo - for those days when it is still hot outside but you feel like something, cosy, comforting and all cooked in one pan! Creamy orzo, zesty fish, it’s bright, balanced and absolute perfection.
