A Scandinavian inspired salad from ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry. You could use smoked trout or fresh salmon instead of the hot smoked salmon, and add quarters of cooked ( not pickled) beetroot if you like.
A good recipe for the cooler months from ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry. If you like you can toss torn rocket or baby spinach leaves into the pasta before adding the sauce if you want something a bit more substantial.
A popular way with scallops for very special occasions as its a bit of a palaver to make. It’s from from ” Butter” by James Martin. The salt baked celeriac is best made a day in advance and is very good served on its own as a vegetarian dish too.

I recently had some of the best fresh crab i had eaten in Bridlington, Yorkshire but Cornish crab is equally good. Fresh crab is at its very best from April to October and this recipe from ” Sea and Shore” by Emily Scott is a simple but delicious way to serve it.
A recipe from Diana Henry based on the classic Italian Tuna and Bean Salad. For the best results use the best quality tuna and anchovies, but for a cheap and cheerful lunch supermarket tinned tuna will suffice.
