As snowdrops are flowering and daffodils are starting to shoot. I decided to make myself a nice zingy and light salad. I always associate courgettes with summer so thought I would use them to give myself hope that winter will be over soon. This definitely reminded me of summer and holidays. It was yummy and…

Smoked Trout on an Edamame Bean Salad topped with a Preserved Lemon and Caper Salsa
I love smoked trout it’s abit more delicate than smoked salmon and most supermarkets stock it. I buy shelled edamame or soya beans already prepared and frozen so you can just grab a handful and rinse them under some warm water to defrost. I could eat capers with anything as the give a punch of…
Salt Beef Salad with Crispy Capers and a Three Mustard Dressing

Best Ever Fish Pie With Rosti and Caper Topping
