I adore wild rice. It has a delicious nutty flavour and a texture that I really enjoy. I try and cook with it as often as I can. This dish is great to serve in individual parcels and almost cooks itself. Any kind of white fish would be wonderful for this dish. 1/2 cup of…

Yucatán style prawn tacos
I found the secret to the style of tacos in the Yucatán really focused on the freshness of the ingredients. Imagine scoffing these in a tropical paradise by the sea? So awesome. Green prawns marinated in lime, garlic, chilli and coriander (couple of hours) then flash fried. Salsa made with chopped spanish onion, coriander, red…
Lamb chops with baked eggplant and goats cheese stack
This is a bad photo sorry but I had to share as it was a delightfully naughty and absolutely delicious dish. Celebrity Chef Mediterranean pulled this one off and it was a treat to arrive home and be faced with such exquisite food. The lamb chop was simply fried medium rare. It was a good…
Mexican ceviche salad with crispy tortilla chips
We were supposed to have a dinner guest and bought a mountain of seafood with which to make Mexican treats and wash down with our selection of fine mescals.

Flourless chocolate rasberry cake
I discovered the most awesome cake in the universe (really) about a year ago and the best thing about it (apart from the taste) is it is flourless, so when I went gluten free it stayed on the menu. Yay! I’ve posted a link to the recipe. Please note that I substituted the cherries for…
Vegetarian – Mexican mushroom and zucchini tacos
I think my favourite taco that I tried in ‘Mexico’s best taqueria’ was a mushroom and zucchini taco. The juicy mushrooms were something else. This recipe made enough for 6 tacos which would feed two. Slice zucchini into thin strips, sprinkle with oregano and olive oil and bake in a pan with one spanish onion…
