Here’s grilled chicken in with a twist; we cover it with a chocolate and chili glaze, and inject it with lemon syrup, for a slightly different flavor. The chocolate should be dark, with lot’s of cacao. I use one with 70%. I chose the ancho chili for its smokey flavor, with hints of tobacco. It is a good match for the chocolate.

Fish casserole is a great everyday dish. Usually you have the ingredients at home, and it takes less than 20 minutes to make it. The sauce is based on creme fraiche, which you can easily make yourself. I buy frozen cod and let it thaw a bit before cooking it. The caviar really adds flavor and adds a touch of class to an otherwise ordinary meal.
Creme Fraiche is a soured cream made by souring thick cream with a bacterial culture, typically from yoghurt. It is very easy to make, and could be handy if you want to make larger batches, or different fat content from the store bought Creme Fraiche.

Mackerel is a great fish to smoke. Just like salmon it has high fat content, which is good when smoking fish. Here we’re making a mackerel mousse, smoked with beech wood, to serve with a fresh salad.
