Scallop love

There’s more to scallop shells than you think. Just ask any pilgrim treading the path to the shrine of Saint James in Santiago de Compostela.

Char-grilled Scallops with Guacamole

You can serve these as slurpy little mouthfuls in mini scallop shells or Chinese spoons, or present them as a starter as I have in the photo.

Fresh Herb & Edible Flower Salad

Whoo! Fresh, colourful, tangy, crunchy-crisp, this salad has everything. Get yourself off to a market that sells edible flowers and small herbs and salad greens, and go for it.

Crushed Peas with Feta & Chervil

A good sourdough has tang, texture and chew and is just what you want to cushion this verdant purée of peas and herbs.

This is a handy mixture that can be used as a spread, a dip or a sauce, or put it in a piping bag and squiggle it over tortillas and tacos.

Add a few slices to feta to the top of a silverbeet tart and cook until golden ... mmmm.
