I love Asian food and spices and sometimes find clean eating and salads lacking in the flavours I am familiar with. So this dish, Snapper with Thai Mango Salad proves that we can straddle both the flavours and yet keep this meal sexy, fresh and low carbs.

This soup always get people moaning with pleasure. That makes it my favourite go-to soup to start my dinner party on the right note! :)
Why Mussels?
