Mozzarella & Rosemary Chicken Cutlets

Taking inspiration from the restaurant-style kievs I love so much, and adding a little extra ooziness just because, I recently came up with these very yummy mozzarella, rosemary & chilli breaded chicken cutlets. I would call them Kievs, but that term is somewhat sacrosanct to me, so cutlets it is. Give them a go, I think you’ll love them too.

Burrata & Grilled Fennel Antipasti

Like all the dishes from the River Café, the simplicity of this dish means that using the best quality ingredients is paramount. It is utterly transportative, for all that it is, and is ideal served alongside a glass of rosé and the last of the evening’s sun.

Welsh Rarebit Toasts

I’ve always been a fan of Welsh rarebit toasts – my parents used to occasionally make them for lunch on Saturdays when I was small and I could never understand why they tasted so good. Now that I’m older, I understand that they’re pretty much pure ‘umami’. And I also know now just how good they taste with a cold drink.
