Just a kipper on its own is a bit dull, I had salmon for my first meal as it is quite moist on its own, steamed or baked with black pepper is quite nice.
Once you can add herbs and spice tomorrow it is a lot nicer.
One thing that I really enjoyed was sprinkling chicken with seasoning, anything like chicken seasoning, 5 spice, thai, tandoori powder, there are tons in the spices section of the supermarket, bake it for about 25 mins and chop through salad, it is gorgeous.
There are quite a few recipes in the recipe book that you might find useful, they are also on the website. If you don't have access yet then I could mail you. When do you get your book?
Everyone is totally paranoid the first week that they will have a massive gain. It doesn't happen, you can then start enjoying yourself.
You will be totally fine.
