This month we have something special to offer you, not one, but two recipes!  Firstly, we are proud to present a recipe from a good friend of ours Joe Chetcuti. 

Joe is from Malta and has lived in Newport for many years.  He sent us this recipe to show us where our lovely thin sliced Orkney rump steak ends up.

We hope you enjoy it to.

Our second recipe comes from Pascal Meril of Frenchys Kitchen.  Regulars to this page will know that Pascal has been tempting our taste buds with his creations on a regular basis.  We know that you'll love this months recipe and for those new to this page you can follow the links at the bottom of the pages to other delights.
