Rosehip Syrup Recipe From Foraged Wild Dog Rose Hips

Japanese style barbecued skewers of tuna and babycorn with ponzu sauce

Like sesame sauce, miso ends up in sauces and dressing for many classic Japanese salads. Here I’ve combined miso with asparagus to make a rather exotic salad – wasabi on the side adds piquancy and a touch of jeopardy to the dish.

‘A beautiful chocolate flan from Dad inspired by the flavours of Mexico.’

Well, what do you know, here’s a taste combination from out of the blue! Asparagus and dolci Gorgonzola. Add grilled polenta and well-paired wine and you will be in Italian food heaven.

A great flavour combination and presented here as a main meal salad or antipasto.

Asparagus and nuts have an affinity – I’ve used hazelnuts and seen recipes with pistachios, so sesame should – and does – marry well. Avocado and tofu work well together, and asparagus eats well with avocado. This recipe brings all these flavour combination together in a Japanese style dish.
