mum made fresh bread on a Wednesday.

In this episode, I show how to make chicken piccata, thanks to a recipe from Joy Philbin, widow of Regis Philbin.

Today's recipe is for chicken piccata, lightly-breaded, golden brown chicken served over white rice in a wonderfully flavorful and tart sauce that gives the dish its name. This particular recipe comes from Joy Philbin, widow to Regis Philbin. It's very quick to make and features relatively inexpensive, healthy ingredients. However, the taste--thanks to that beautiful, light sauce of chicken broth, white wine, lemon juice, and capers--is amazingly rich and indulgent. One bite of this and you'll be transported from your home kitchen to a night out at a fancy restaurant.

Superfood salad my way

You can add anything really – pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds will all add extra nutrients and crunch.I fished my salad…

Fresh Salmon and Red Onion Frittata

Fresh Salmon and Red Onion Frittata

FRITTATA DI SALMONE E CIPOLLE ROSSE Some say frittata some say tortilla! Well, the Italians and Spanish at least! This is my version of a recipe gleaned form the work of Gino D’campo. He uses cod and chives – but I reckon this one with salmon and basil is better! I love making these – not much work for lots of reward flavour wise and it looks so fab on the plate! You can get at least 6 good…
