Menu planning

  • - This is a very tasty and nice to see dessert, ideal to close an important lunch or dinner, especially if it is based only on fish.
    Furthermore it is fast to do. Ideal for the cold months.
  • - To get an idea of how to combine it with other courses, take a look at two fish-only menus of mine that I suggest for Christmas holidays and other events. Or to the menu with lasagna :)) Links below!

Healthy eating

  • - This fruit salad with pineapple, kiwi fruits and candied cherries is one of my favorite dessert in the cold months, and when I have to close a fish-based menu where it is not always easy to choose the cake. It is not the usual Everest in calories and fat like many other desserts. The only thing you have to be careful is not to overdo with candied fruit. One hundred grams distributed among 8 people are not so many. But things could be very different, if you increase their amount :)
