Smoked Salmon Fishcakes and Salad
This evening we had some fish cakes that we’d made previously and frozen. They were very good – the fish was hot-smoked salmon and the potatoes had been baked in the oven. The smoked salmon gave the fish cakes a wonderful flavour; sometimes poached fish gets lots amongst the potatoes.

Something quick and relatively easy last night. Kerri clipped a few recipes from magazines recently and we went through them and selected this one. I don’t have the recipe here, but we combined these ingredients in certain quantities: garlic, fresh chilli, paprika, ground cumin, salt, lemon juice, olive oil and chopped mint. Some of this […]
Read More..>>My Favourite Sandwich
It wasn’t exactly a secret since I’ve posted about it before but I suppose it’s one of those things that doesn’t come up in conversation very often and I don’t really mention it either. The truth is though that I love fishfingers. They remind me of being small but I’m not sure why as we […]

…and hot and sour soup of clams with chillies and lime (tom yam hoi nahm sai). It’s been a while since we’ve done our supposedly weekly Thai Monday, so over the weekend we hastily chose a couple of recipes and bought what we needed to. First up was Hot and Sour Soup of Clams with […]
Read More..>>Spanish Seafood Stew
We decided on something of a Spanish theme this weekend and chose a recipe from one of each of the Spanish cookbooks that we have; this one is from “The Food of Northern Spain”. We’ve cooked something similar before and thought we’d give it another go. This version contained mussels, and since we could only […]
Read More..>>Sushi
A short while ago we decided to make sushi and invited some friends around for the evening. We started planning a few extra things to make apart from the sushi itself, but soon we ended up with loads of extra things with the sushi almost taking a back seat, but not quite. We started preparing […]
Read More..>>Fish Pie
Being Good Friday today, Kerri wanted to cook fish pie. We found a tasty sounding recipe in a newly acquired cook book called Fish, subtitled “Recipes From a Busy Island”. It’s a National Trust book and is geared towards responsible and sustainable fish recipes. The recipe was called “Tweed Salmon, Smoked Haddock and Langoustine Pie […]
Read More..>>Salad
Monday is gym night so dinner needs to be quick and easy (or lovingly prepared by Stephen but he selfishly decided to go out this evening). Rather than reaching for the toast which is what normally happens when I’m eating alone, I decided to “be good” and eat salad. I usually have this for lunch […]
Read More..>>Thai Odyssey Part 4 – Mussel and Ginger Soup and Squid Salad
Given the success of last time’s soup and salad combination, we decided to give it another try. Normally on Sundays we have some sort of roast and Thai Monday happens on… Monday. But as I’m out tomorrow evening, we decided to have Thai Sunday instead. This time, the salad was squid salad, aka yam pla […]
Read More..>>Bouillabaisse
I had some really good bouillabaisse at my local pub recently and wanted to try making it myself. Stephen found a recipe and after we’d bought some fish (gurnard, sea bass, clams and langoustines) we started to put it all together. Firstly I made the rouille which is garlic, salt, chilli, bread and oil. This […]
