A delicious way to enjoy some tacos!

Didn't make the whole chicken, instead cooked one chicken breast with skin and bone. Followed the recipe exactly, and roasted the chicken in the oven until the temperature of the breast was 165 F, which took me about 10 minutes. Then let the cooked chicken breast stand for about 10 minutes, this way made a succulent chicken breast. Served it with some roasted baby carrots tossed with same spices for chicken, delicious!

Smoky chipotle pepper in adobo sauce adds delicious smokiness and slightly heat to the cheesy and tasty quesadillas. Easy to make, and these warm quesadillas are great for a quick lunch or supper.

Green Beans tossed with Shallots, Tomatoes and Mushrooms. An easy side for nearly any main dish.

Easy pork chops and beans for your slow cooker.

An easy no fuss soup for your crockpot or on the stovetop.

Chicken breast turned out juicy, made my own seasoned bread crumbs by toasting some bread and using a food processor adding some Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, turned out a bit dark but awfully tasty. I used speck, a smoked prosciutto instead of the turkey ham and the flavors matched up well. I made a sauce by deglazing the pan with a bit of white wine. Overall a nice combination and quite easy to make.

A quick, easy and tasty vegetable stir-fry, serve it with rice or noodles as a delicious and wholesome week-night meal.

Meticulously seasoned ground chicken placed on top of a delicious golden brown fried plantain to create a scrumptious edible boat.

The herb sauce was delicious and packed with flavour. However I seared the salmon in the hot skillet until nicely done, removed from the pan, then made the sauce with the remaining ingredients. Like crispy salmon rather than poached. Well definitely be making this dish again.

Added sliced Provolone, which I melted over the top under the broiler and made the sandwiches in pita pockets. Delicious!

Give your pizza a new twist by using fresh figs, olive tapenade and goat cheese. It's delicious, serve it as a main dish or an appetizer.

Beer pairing suggestion: American India pale ale or amber ale. The Stone World Bistro & Gardens, in Escondido, California, serves wood-grilled trout with black mission fig butter to make it taste even milder and sweeter. Mission figs are available in the dried fruit section of most large supermarkets. Untreated wood planks for grilling are available in grilling and barbecue sections of hardware store s as well as some supermarkets.

Recipe made by the ambassador for Olives from Spain José Pizarro. Spain is the largest producer of olives in the world. The four main varieties of Spanish table olive available from major supermarkets in the UK are: Manzanilla, Gordal, Hojiblanca and Cacereña. Spanish table olives can be served in a different number of ways including: whole, pitted, stuffed with one or more ingredients such as pimento, onion, tuna, anchovy, salmon, almond, etc. It is a healthy seasonal ingredient, with the Spanish olive harvest running from September-March.

Pizza with pizzaz, surprise your family with this unique version of a pizza. Carmelized onions as a base instead of the traditional sauce topped with potato slices, cheddar and dill.
