Seafood Pasta
Al dente pasta and seafood make for a beautiful combination of flavours. So there is no good reason not to make this seafood pasta recipe. So, a little backstory for making this seafood dish. This was actually supposed to be linguini vongole, but something went wrong. I was in the supermarket looking for my ingredients, and…
Extra Crispy Salmon Nicoise
Here we go, my spin on a classic French dish. Crispy Salmon Nicoise, and if you are like me and love salmon, you will love this recipe. Crispy salmon is probably one of my favourites things to eat. Plus, I decided to take the crispiness of the skin to another level. Now making the salad…
Grilled Tuna with Mixed Greens
This grilled tuna dish is about 2 things. One, to make a healthy dish, and two, to take a list of simple ingredients, and cook them well. This to me is very important.
Prosciutto Wrapped Prawns With Pesto Dip Appetizer
These prosciutto wrapped prawns have actually been shown in a previous blog post but I took it down. Most of you probably don’t know about this because it was just an experimental idea when I started blogging. But I tried to do a series of posts where I would pair food with a cocktail. For…
Polenta Coated Fish with Dressed Potatoes
This polenta coated fish recipe is inspired by the restaurant “Threecoins Italian Trattoria”. Why? Well, I can’t tell you how many times I have paneed an ingredient with either breadcrumbs, or panko breadcrumbs. This restaurant did things a bit differently, they coated there squid with polenta. And it worked an absolute treat. Is it better than regular breadcrumbs?…..I think I might…

Bagel Burger with Fennel and Smoked trout
First of all, a bagel with cream cheese is awesome don’t get me wrong. That with a good cup of coffee in the morning is a winner. But a while ago, I was having a bagel from the coffee shop and I thought “there could be so much more in this bagel. So why not…
Seared Scallops and Fresh Salsa on Crushed Potatoes
Seared scallops, the two reasons why I believe that people don’t cook them in their homes often is because they usually aren’t all that cheap. You can buy them frozen as a cheaper alternative then defrost them, but fresh scallops are obviously much better quality. Also, people tend to get intimidated when it comes to cooking…
Beer Battered Fish Fingers
There is some inspiration behind this beer battered fish recipe. So not very long ago I worked as a kitchen hand for a busy restaurant. I actually quite liked the majority of the food there. They had seafood night every Tuesdays and a lobster special on Thursdays. Although there was one thing that they served…
Flaked Salmon Salad with Mozzarella and Pine Nuts
So I wanted to make a salmon salad that celebrates the idea of freshness. So in this salad, I chose to add ingredients that are delicate, light and very kind to your digestive system. This is the kind of salad I love to eat for a summer lunch when I don’t feel like eating anything…
Pan Fried Squid with Broccolini and Lemon Beurre Blanc
So here is the inspiration behind this pan-fried squid recipe. I see so many posts out there that are of classic recipes, which I think is fantastic and we should never forget about them. However, it can be really fun to be a bit daring and come up with a dish yourself. I personally am…
