Snoek is packed with protein, locally sourced and safely sustainable. You do need to be careful of all those tiny bones though, so make sure you are buying any smoked or fresh fish from a trusted community fishery.

Baked chilli poppers with coriander mayo
We absolutely love chilli poppers here at MK, and they are just as good baked in the oven without any added oiliness. Stuffed with cream cheese and cheddar and then dipped into a coriander mayo... We know, we don’t have to say any more.
Guacamole
Home-made guacamole
Let’s face it; avocados are the best thing ever. And nothing pays homage to the kingly avo more than a beautiful bowl of home-made guacamole. Tasty, spicy, and oh-so easy to prepare, we can’t resist adding this to almost everything, especially in summer.
