Tomato, Courgette & Basil tart
This is a very versatile, quick and easy recipe, perfect for a summers lunch or a lunch at work.
I have made it with wild garlic pesto, but you can use green, red or rocket pesto or sun-dried tomato paste to spread on the base of the tart.
Twice Baked Smoked Salmon Soufflés
This recipe is one from my cookery book: Ali Bilton Cooks Her Favourites. It really is one of my favourite recipes, and one that I have produced many many times. It never fails to please.
Smoked Mackerel Pate with Sweet & Sour Cucumber
This is a very quick easy pate to make for a light lunch for 2-3 people.

Beetroot Tarte Tatin
This is a great recipe that I taught at the Yorkshire Wolds Cookery school to the confidence in the kitchen class. It also features in my cookery book, Ali Bilton cooks her favourites. I chose this recipe as it covers a lot of skills and shows people that they can cook dishes that they might […]
