A Valentine’s Dinner for Anyone - Scallops, Herb-Crusted Trout & Hollandaise (Part One)

This week’s Ask Charlie is a Valentine’s special, but not just for couples. This is about cooking something lovely, whether that’s for someone you love or simply for yourself. I’m sharing part one of a two-part Valentine’s dinner that’s calm, unfussy and a little bit special.

We start with scallops and a fresh lemon and coriander slaw - light, zingy and very easy - followed by herb-crusted trout with new potatoes, green beans and a proper homemade hollandaise. These are recipes you can come back to all year round, not just for Valentine’s Day.

All of the recipes are linked below so you can save them, print them and make them your own. Part two is coming next week, with another main and a pudding I’m very excited about...

I hope you enjoy,

Love, Charlie x
