FAVOURITE RECIPES THIS LEG:

A lunch time salad:

2 slices of watermelon per person
Wrap each slice in smoked salmon and place a small piece of mint on each one (squeeze lime juice over the smoked salmon).
Serve with caprese (sliced tomato, bocciccini and basil) Cos lettuce with thinly sliced carrot and cucumber and Italian parsley for decoration.

All the ingredients are fresh from the market, except for the smoked salmon which was bought in Sri Lanka and had been in the freezer. The freezer on the yacht is excellent.
