I really enjoy trying new dishes and flavours. I have had some fails where the flavours don’t work or an Asian product I have bought which tastes really funky. Miso however is one of the ingredients that has stayed in the fridge. It has a subtle sweet, savoury and salty flavour. As it is so…

Stunning Roast Turbot, Lemon and Fennel with a Tarragon Sauce
What a terrific treat the king of the flatfish, the almighty turbot. This is like lobster a special treat as you pay for the whole fish but a lot of bone is discarded. That’s why I found simple dish Paulie could make so we could really enjoy the true flavour of the meat. Aniseed is…
