Leek and Taleggio Risotto (2)
Affogato al Caffe (4)
Affogato is one of my favourite ice cream desserts and I found a recipe ( though you dont really need one) in ” Real Food” by Nigel Slater. The expresso must be very strong and fragrant and use the best vanilla ice cream you can find in the supermarket. The ice cream should be quite hard, but soft enough to scoop without breaking.

Smoked Haddock with Horseradish Mash and Poached Egg (6)
An old favourite from ” Big Flavours and Rough Edges” by David Eyre and the Eagle Cooks. Its best to use undyed smoked haddock if you can get this. The Horseradish Mash can be replaced with Saffron Mash. Infuse a gram of saffron in the milk( or half milk and cream) while it is heating through and omit the horseradiash.
Tuna with Sicilian Potato Salad (4)
I found this recipe for Tuna in ” Lobster & Chips” by Trish Hilferty, one of my go to fish cookbooks. She inherited it from Tom Norrington Davis and they both worked at the renowned Eagle in London. You need to use really fesh tuna and waxy potatoes such as Charlotte. The tuna could be replaced with swordfish or other robust meaty fish. The tuna will be medium rare which is the best way to eat it, but if you prefer cook it for a little longer.
