Chicken schwarma and herby wedges
I did this as a take on gyros for the kids, so put the ingredients into a wrap and they loved it. I had it on a plate with salad and it was equally divine. Really tasty and minimum fuss, but you do need to make the chicken in advance. To make the chicken schwarma…

Cod and sprout medley
Fed up of overeating at Christmas, I fancied something fresh, light and tasty. This was it. A fabulous spring or summer dish (can you buy sprouts in the summer? If not maybe brocoli shoots, or ribbons of stringless runner beans) or a great antidote to stodgy Christmas dinners. Serves 2. What you need: 2 large…
Bouillabaisse
