Everyone loves tacos, but they aren’t the most natural weight-loss food. By pairing white fish with a juicy mango salsa, this recipe gives us the best of both worlds – it’s filling and tastes superb!
Serves 2
Prep 10 minutes
Cook 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 200g fresh mango, diced
- 100g red onions, diced
- 100g red pepper, diced
- 100g avocado, diced
- 20g sliced jalapeños
- juice of 1 lime
- olive oil spray
- 300g skinless white fish fillet (I use cod), cut into bite-size chunks
- 1 tsp fajita seasoning
- 6 small corn tortillas (25g each)
- handful of fresh coriander leaves
- smoked paprika, to taste
- hot sauce, to serve (optional)
Method
- First, make your salsa. In a bowl, mix together the mango, onions, pepper, avocado, jalapenos and lime juice.
- Heat a spray of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat until hot. In a separate bowl, sprinkle the fish with the fajita seasoning and toss to coat. Place on the hot pan and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until cooked through – the flesh should be opaque, and the pieces should have taken on some colour around the edges.
- Heat the tortillas briefly in a separate dry pan, then assemble the tacos, piling each tortilla up with fish and salsa. Garnish with fresh coriander and a sprinkle of paprika, and top with hot sauce, if liked.
These muffins are edible poetry. The earthy elegance of matcha meets the sweet tang of raspberries and the creamy allure of white chocolate in a muffin that’s as sophisticated as a first date at a five-star teahouse.

Growing up in Germany, Verena remembers two camps when it came to potato salad: camp mayo and camp oil/broth.

I don’t remember much about the circumstances of my first cherry clafoutis. But I must have loved the classic French farmhouse dessert, because I’ve been trying to reproduce that first custardy, almond-scented pancake ever since.
‘I always think that canapés should box slightly above their weight – in other words, they need to be vividly flavoured to succeed. Here, the combination of crisp brioche, salty feta, pickled walnuts, figs, honey and thyme is just that. If you like, there’s a recipe for pickling your own green walnuts on page 275 of Rick Stein’s Christmas. You can also make this with slices of goat’s cheese from a log instead of the whipped feta.’
While I’ve always been a fan of the old camp song “On Top of Spaghetti,” I firmly believe that’s the very last place a meatball belongs.
Shrubs pair beautifully with soda water (and gin), and are perfect for using up seasonal fruit — wild, homegrown or store-bought.
