How To Make
Tortellini
- 80g plain flour
- 1 egg
- ½ T Olive oil

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Once starting to bind, remove and kneed for 2-3 minutes. This will develop the gluten to get a firmer finish to the cooked pasta. Allow to rest before rolling.
Fish Mousse

- Half an egg white
- 2T fresh cream
- 1T fresh parsley
- Salt & white pepper
- Squeeze of lemon juice
1. Blitz all ingredients in a food processor adding the cream last.
2. If unsure on seasoning and taste, you can fry off a small amount in a pan before using to check.
Tomato and Caper Emulsion

- 1T baby capers chopped
- 2T sliced shallot
- 1T crushed garlic
- 1T brown sugar
- 50g unsalted butter
- 50ml olive oil
- Salt and pepper to season
1. Sweat off shallots and garlic in olive oil until soft.
2. Add canned tomatoes and brown sugar; reduce until very thick.
3. Finish with chopped capers and emulsify with butter.
4. Season and serve with a touch of parmesan and basil, like true Italians.
Grilled Fish Fillet
• 2x 100g fresh fish fillets, skin on
1. Heat griddle pan on a medium to high heat.
2. Leaving the skin on your fillets, lightly oil and place on griddle. Cook for 1-2 minutes on skin side. Then rotate the fillets to get a criss cross sear on the skin.
