Recipe Notes

I love tuna. I love Caprese Salad. The two of them together are just perfect. There’s not much more to be said than that.

Dinner doesn’t have to be complicated to be fantastic. A lovely salad like this one with a slice of good bread is quick, simple and delicious.

"Just because I am a chef doesn't mean I don't rely on fast recipes. Indeed, we all have moments when, pressed for time, we'll use a can of tuna and a tomato for a first course. It's a question of choosing the right recipes for the rest of the menu."
