Celebrity chef Phil Vickery, a regular on ITV’s This Morning, has teamed up with the UK’s largest goats’ milk producer St Helen’s Farm to bring us this seafood recipe 

Goats’ milk is nutritionally closest to cows’ milk, yet is lower in lactose, has different proteins and fats and is four times higher in prebiotics.

Phil said, “I’m passionate about helping people create simple yet delicious healthy foods. Goats’ milk products are a great way of making sure your diet is packed full of calcium, protein and naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. Goats’ milk is fantastic for cooking as it gives you a really creamy texture, yet is light too.”
