HINTS & TIPS

Don’t throw away the stalks from your broccoli the are excellent steamed and tossed through salads or used in soups or stir fry
John Dory is a prized table fish but can become tough if steamed at a high temperature
Of course you can make your own harissa but if you have a quality spice merchant in your local area this might save you a little time
