Following Mr Slater's Kitchen Diaries is quite an education as well as a lesson in cooking. Yesterday I learnt all about capers. I have tried them in the past but avoided them since, as not really to my taste. Mr Slater however says ".......they are without doubt one of the most used seasonings in my kitchen...." So I learn all about capers ( did you know the caper is a flower bud, pickled before it becomes a flower?) and give them a go in yesterday' s recipe.

Friday night so I wait for my husband to arrive home from work as this is the one night we make dinner together, us and a bottle of wine ! I tend to issue orders and get him to do most of the prep. As such he now thinks he' s becoming Johnny to my Fanny Cradock - sorry you have to be quite old to understand this, but Johnny was the long suffering husband of one of the first ever TV chefs.

Mr Slater suggest serving the fish with a squeeze of lemon but we had to disagree, the flavour of the dressing was so tasty nothing more was needed, it really came through the flesh of the fish which was very moist.
