I bought a lovely big tuna steak at the weekend. Asked if it had been frozen already (in Spain you can ask for fresh or pre-frozen and defrosted) and as it had, I decided to make a rare tataki with some miso I needed to use up. Very tasty, super easy and with a side salad it made for a light and healthy lunch. This kind of miso marinade also works well really with salmon. For health reasons remember that all raw and rare fish recipes should use fish that has been properly frozen and defrosted beforehand.

Alicante, Spain

Born in the UK, I came to Spain after graduating many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. My recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal - I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. When I have time, I love spending a few hours cooking, filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music and then hosting family and friends for long happy meals, laughs, conversation and chilled white wine. I'm a great believer in the power and value of home cooking for our own health, happiness and wellbeing and those of our loved ones and since I joined the Cookpad team 11 years ago I am committed to helping to make everyday cooking more fun for people all over the World.
