An homage to Debora’s favourite oyster spot in Marseillan, this recipe is a summer treat for everyone and an impressive starter for a special occasion. Don’t forget some good bread to mop up the delicious sauce!
Warm and full of flavour, this chunky soup is hearty and delicious year round. Serve topped with cooling minty yoghurt, and extra mint leaves for colour.
This is a salad where the dressing is the real star of the show. Keep the greens crisps and full of texture, and let the sesame seed and soy dressing do all the talking. Some fresh coriander and mint will finish it off perfectly.
With subtle notes of orange water and cardamom, and generous chunks of halva, this simple no fuss ice cream is an easy way to finish off a summer dinner. Scatter over the sesame brittle for a crunchy finish.
You can’t go wrong with tender lamb, gently spiced rice, and roasted garlic. Serve this fragrant dish with a fresh and simple salad of cucumber and tomatoes with loads of fresh herbs.
We are always a fan of the simple galette, particularly when they are filled with a hazelnut cream and fresh pears. Serve warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a moreish late night dessert.
As Debora says, this pie is as good as it sounds! With a fresh and zesty lime cream filling, spiked with a healthy amount of tequila, this pie is guaranteed to be a hit at your next barbecue.
