Simple, healthy and absolutely delicious! Our Tamari Glazed Salmon with Charred Leek is the perfect mid-week dinner which will leave you feeling satisfied and nourished. Once you get the salmon down pat, have a play with whatever veg you have in your fridge or maybe try on a bed of soba noodles or wild rice.

Our marbled short ribs are braised for 3 hours and are infused with with tomato, red wine, garlic and oregano. Serve with parpadelle, polenta or mash, the choice if yours.Â

In celebration of Greek Easter, we've enlisted the help of our friend Conor Curran to share one of his favourite lamb recipes.
