Salmon with Calabrian Chili Sauce & Honey

The Calabrian chili is a versatile Italian pepper with a rich red color, fruity flavor and a nice level of heat for spicy food lovers. They are native to Calabria, Italy, and are one of the most popular peppers in Southern Italy. This Salmon with Calabrian Chili Sauce & Honey is very simple to make and the spicy/sweet sauce really works well with the fatty salmon.

Coronation Quiche

I finally decided to make the controversial Coronation Quiche. I have to say, it's rather underwhelming. I had to hold back from adding shallots, and more cheese. I think it's a risky thing to make for guests due to the addition of tarragon, which you either love or hate. It's described on the King's website as A deep quiche with a crisp, light pastry case and delicate flavours of Spinach, Broad Beans and fresh Tarragon. Eat hot or cold with a green salad and boiled new potatoes - perfect for a Coronation Big Lunch! I beg to differ. Give me Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation Chicken!

Marinated Brussel Sprouts

These Marinated Brussels Sprouts are delicious and healthy. They are made by marinating Brussels sprouts in a flavorful mixture of Dijon mustard, maple syrup, soy sauce, and garlic. The marinade helps to tenderize the Brussels sprouts and infuse them with flavor. I marinated these for 24 hours and then roasted them in a hot oven until crispy. You can also put them in an air fryer.
