Dead easy one including a couple of sigs, just because I fancy all of this right now:

parsley and chopped rocket

handmade pasta stuffed with slow cooked veal and pancetta

fish stew of Dorset blue lobster, langoustine, monkfish, sea bass, vongole with fennel, tomato, saffron potatoes and parsley

Amalfi lemon tart
