Japanese Tuna “Pizza”
Think of it as a Japanese take on pizza, all in one bite — crispy cheese croustade, fresh tuna, ginger, wasabi and a little chilli. You get the crunch, freshness and a nice kick of heat all together. It’s seriously hard to stop at one.

Smoked English Peas, Whipped Ricotta, Lemon & Elderflower Tartlet
Early summer ingredients don't need much help to shine. In this tartlet, sweet charred peas, elderflower, lovage, and roasted lemon come together on a crisp garlic-infused pastry base with whipped honey ricotta. It's fresh, vibrant, and one of my favourite seasonal dishes I've created recently.
The full recipe is now available inside the membership, along with detailed guidance on every element, so you can recreate the dish in your own kitchen with confidence.
