This potato salad is for all those mayonnaise haters out there! I’m using lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil and Dijon mustard as the base of the sauce, and keeping it light by using a load of chopped herbs, capers and gherkins. Cooking and cooling potatoes allows for the starch to retrograde into something called resistant starch. Our bodies are …
Salmon Teriyaki Bowl
I love making this sticky and sweet salmon teriyaki, and cutting the salmon into small cubes means that there are more sticky corners where the sugar from the honey can caramelise on the fish.
