Peking-style Lemon Sole

This recipe was sent by a customer, Lynne McNicoll OBE. She and her husband Ian’s Chinese restaurant of choice in Edinburgh changed hands a number of years ago and their favourite dish, Peking-style sole, was subsequently never as good. Ian decided to recreate the dish and they’ve been enjoying it ever since – accompanied by a glass of warm sake.

Lynne is the co-founder and chair of It’s Good 2 Give, a charity that supports young people with cancer and their families. To find out more or to donate, visit the website.
