Val has sent in a copy of a California Prunes promotional booklet she found in Holland & Barrett recently. In it, there are some fab recipes, but my two favourites are the nut loaves - prune (of course), brazil and pistachio, and almond, prune (again) and cashew.

I am told there is a shortage of organic farmed salmon at the moment. Try sea or river trout instead. I did a version of this recipe last night and it was delicious; the picture doesn't do its vibrancy justice. Have a go.
