Iberica Restaurant – Marylebone, London

Today I’d been invited to try the menu at Iberica Restaurant.  Normally I take Dan to these things but today I’d chosen to take my mum because she’s a big tapas sceptic!  She’s only had tapas a few times before but she’s never really been

Roasted Fig and Brie Salad with Crispy Prosciutto, Grapes & Tarragon

Inspired by my Roasted Figs with Goats Cheese Appetiser that I made the other week, I decided to turn it into a main course and make the figs the star of a salad for my dinner that night.  I decided to change it up and

Craving some greens and a fairly high protein meal after a workout at the gym tonight I settled on a Seared Tuna Nicoise Salad, complete with a gooey poached egg and topped with my homemade Rocket Pesto. To start with I steamed the asparagus (only
