Simon cooks a fabulous meal for four, using herbs and spices from around the world in a menu demonstrating how a few simple ingredients can be transformed into very special dishes.
He begins with the famous Greek drink Ouzo, pairing it with a delicious nibble to compliment the aromatic aniseed taste in a perfect start to this meal of adventurous flavours.
Next is authentic Spanish dish Ajo Blanco - a chilled almond and garlic soup, sometimes known as 'white gazpacho'. The second course features one of Simon's favourite vegetables - the Aubergine - baked in a sweet and sticky spiced Asian sauce.
The main course is an aromatic tomato curry served with a lemon pilau and cool cucumber raita, and to round things off Simon makes a rich Italian fruit and nut tart.
