Dawn hopes her passion and creative flare in the kitchen leads you to try these recipes – some new, some traditional and some all time favourites.

This delicious chicken was inspired from a recipe out of 'beach, bach, boat, bbq' which is probably my all-time favourite cookbook. I made the salad with a mix of orange to keep with the Mediterranean feel of this dish. Serve it on a bed of fresh spinach and a dollop of hummus on the side. You could also serve with cous cous that has been soaked in chicken stock if desired.

Marinate for at least an hour in:
