    Prawns with garlic, red chilli, coriander and lemon

    "This is my take on a classic Portuguese dish. I find myself on a mission to get people to save the part of the prawn that stores the most flavour (the head), which is often discarded during preparation.

My brother was always daring me to try fiery dishes, and I would eat them, pretending to enjoy it while my mouth was on fire. Eventually, though, I came to crave the burn, which is probably why I am so fond of curries and chilli blends....

    Squid & Potato Stew - Rochelle Canteen

    "Buy fresh squid of a medium size. Maybe ask the fishmonger to clean them if you don’t want the messy job.
