Fish, fennel and capers are one of my all-time favourite combinations and we use these 3 ingredients in lots of different ways. I am a fennel puree virgin and really enjoyed the creaminess.

Baked Goats Cheese, Aubergine and Walnut Salad with a Blackberry and Thyme Dressing Recipe
This salad tasted so Autumnal and was really comforting.
