Fregola Summer Salad
If this was just called pasta salad, I know I’d have lost most of you already. Meet fregola — a toasted semolina pasta from Sardinia that looks like oversized couscous and tastes like sunshine on a Mediterranean breeze.
Fishcakes with Tartar Sauce
I couldn’t possibly count the number of fish cakes I’ve eaten in my lifetime. As kids, we ate these so many times over summer using up the endless flathead Dad would catch in the bay. He was happy to fish and we were happy to eat.
Potato & Hot Smoked Trout salad
The key is letting the potatoes cool enough so as not to split the mayonnaise when it’s all combined together. I like that I can eat this over a couple of days without compromising on taste.
Respite
We’ve been travelling for less than two weeks and I feel the need for some breathing space from the festive dining and drinking but also from the continuous forward momentum that travel involves.
