Recipes

The key to our cooking is that we use a lot of fresh produce.

Finding fresh produce should not be that hard, especially if you live in a big country. Farmers’ markets are an excellent place to start, as any good chef will tell you. Seaside towns normally have excellent fish shops or stalls, and a good butcher is also key.

Also, no need to over complicate. Your ingredients should be so fresh that they taste good on their own. Like that, you don’t need much flavour mixing as the original taste of the ingredients is more than enough.

You will notice that some recipes will change over time as we tweak with their ingredients or other things. This is a learning experience for us too, and Carla is a born improviser, plus we won’t miss the chance of improving any old recipe and making it healthier or better tasting!
