When we shoot videos we are always on a pretty tight timeline (actually, shooting videos has nothing to do with that, I am ALWAYS on a pretty tight timeline!) Anyhoo...I knew we were steaming chicken breasts with the idea of showing how to use them in lots of salads. This was written up as a list of ingredients (something I often do as a way to match flavours) and then we just were winging it...check the video and see what I mean!) Well, it ended up being sent home with all the crew and it was everyone's fave...so there you have it. It is so yummy I have plans to include it in my new book, which due to covid has been delayed significantly...but watch this space. It is still happening...I think!
