Affogato al Caffe (4)
Affogato is one of my favourite ice cream desserts and I found a recipe ( though you dont really need one) in ” Real Food” by Nigel Slater. The expresso must be very strong and fragrant and use the best vanilla ice cream you can find in the supermarket. The ice cream should be quite hard, but soft enough to scoop without breaking.

Tuna with Sicilian Potato Salad (4)
I found this recipe for Tuna in ” Lobster & Chips” by Trish Hilferty, one of my go to fish cookbooks. She inherited it from Tom Norrington Davis and they both worked at the renowned Eagle in London. You need to use really fesh tuna and waxy potatoes such as Charlotte. The tuna could be replaced with swordfish or other robust meaty fish. The tuna will be medium rare which is the best way to eat it, but if you prefer cook it for a little longer.
