Good food is all about fresh ingredients. My motto is “fresher is pressure”, so we go to the market every day.
Salt beef bagel: My favourite recipe comes in a sesame bagel with dill pickle and grain mustard. It’s inspired by New York delis.
Focaccia with hummus: I fill it with red pepper hummus, chilli peppers, baby spinach and sunblush tomatoes for extra flavour.

Smoked salmon and egg sandwich: We garnish it with red onion and some baby spinach on oatmeal bread. The oatmeal makes the bread sweeter.

Dan’s clever use of vegetables supplies fibre, vitamins and minerals.
Some of the sandwiches are not low-calorie options since they contain dressing, fried onions and fried shnitzel. For someone watching their weight, the salmon and egg sandwich is probably the best choice."
