This is a simple dish, making the best of each ingredient. How many of us buy celery for a ragu and then have twice as much languishing about in the larder for two weeks? Guilty! One great use of it is in a creamy salad like this blue cheese and […]

Livorno Style Fish
When people see my blog or photos of what I cook, a common question is where do I get all my ideas. I seldom copy a recipe ver batim, unless it’s teaching me a new technique, like the consomme I’m making today. I tend to be more inspired from pieces […]
Scallop Heaven
One of my all time favourite foods are scallops. I only ever eat them as a starter though and always want more. This led me to try and devise a main course scallop dish. This is the first version of it. I have a second of a Maldivian curry. This […]
Guinea Fowl with Scallops, Chorizo and Red Pepper Puree and a Shellfish Bisque.
Today, I set myself a bit of a leftover challenge. The only part of the dish that wasn’t made with leftovers was the guinea fowl(just use chicken if you can’t get it) and scallops. I kept a crab shell from the day before for the bisque. The beans were […]

Continuing the lighter themed meals after we’ve all been indulging over the past 10 days or so. I have created this taste of the sea dish. It will be work with any kind of fish, I just happened to get a good batch of sea bass this day. It isn’t […]
Imam Bayildi with Scallop Tortellini.
This Arabian aubergine stew has become one of my favourite dishes. It is quite rich tasting and can be quite spicy, hence a nice creamy scallop mousse in the pasta to counter balance it. The large tortellini is very filling and so one will be enough for a comfortable […]
Pan Roast Salmon with a Lemon and Dill Sabayon and Broccoli Coucous
This is a delightful refreshing dinner for those awkward times between Christmas and New Year. It is delicious and an impressive treat to serve up over the weekend if you have guests coming. This can be knocked up in just over half an hour too.[purerecipe]
Seafood Heaven.
If you ever want to make a decent sauce for fish that isn’t parsley, try this. It is supposed to have mussels in it, with the mussel juice adding to the sauce. Unfortunately I couldn’t get any fresh! It doesn’t make too much difference, but adds another layer to the […]
