I will be honest, I will work potato rösti into almost any menu if I can. There are few things I love as much as the crunchy, salty and hot surface of a fresh rösti giving way to the soft, cooked potato in the middle. I’m often surprised that I have any left to serve to guests while I’m frying them as I can almost never resist eating a few as I go. These are particularly fabulous as they are topped with cream cheese and beautiful smoked salmon and finished with some fresh dill.

My mind immediately went to pasta and it just so happened that I had some lovely Smoked Salmon in the fridge so I knew that would…
Yesterday I woke up to the most beautiful day. I didn’t have to wear a jersey, the sky was as blue as could be and I could smell the Jasmine blossoming outside. I was in heaven. Spring is here! This is absolutely, without a doubt my favourite time of the year. Warming up but not as hot as hell, everyone starts cheering up and it’s like there’s just this positivity in the air.
