These Oriental-style, triangular parcels of crisp, light filo pastry enclose a ginger-flavoured filling of crab, water chestnuts and sweetcorn.

This soup tastes fabulous. The diced potatoes absorb the flavours from the herbs and vegetables to make a mellow complement to the mussels. Warm soda bread is an ideal partner, delicious for dunking and mopping up the last of the soup. To complete the meal, serve a light, fruity dessert for a refreshing, vitamin-packed finale.

This classic seafood soup is ideal for a special first course. A last-minute addition of chopped red pepper brings a delightful flourish of flavour, texture and extra vitamins instead of the fat in the traditional swirl of cream.

Be the first to review it!

A ready-cooked lobster makes a luxurious salad for 2 people to share.

Serve with country-style bread.

Mixed seafood and noodle broth

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

In China soups are not served at the beginning of the meal but in between courses or dishes. This is why they are made with a light stock, so they are more appropriate as a starter in a Western meal. You can part-prepare this soup ahead, then add the scallops, vegetables and noodles just before serving.

Parmesan-topped mussels

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

Make this stylish starter when you can buy large mussels, such as the green-lipped mussels from New Zealand, as smaller ones can toughen when grilled. Although you only need 24 mussels for this recipe, buy at least 30 because some might have to be discarded. Serve the mussels with chunks of wholemeal bread.

Mixed with rice and plenty of vegetables, a small amount of succulent salmon and prawns goes a long way, making a good balance of protein and carbohydrate in this temptingly spicy, Louisiana-style dish. As an added bonus for the busy cook, it is cooked in just one pan and makes a complete meal on its own.

Scallops and strips of salmon fillet are briefly poached in a little wine and stock, then lifted onto a colourful crunchy salad. The poaching liquid provides the base for a creamy dressing. Serve with crusty bread.
