Grilled salmon salad with ginger and sesame dressing
I would love to take the credit for this recipe, but my husband suggested it and I am glad he did. The dressing goes so well with the salmon, and the carrot and pepper salad accompanies it brilliantly. Crunchtastic!
Minced beef & veg in a puff pastry roll
Or as my husband calls it – Posh Pasty. Delicious main course, that is so versatile. You can use any type of mince and vary the vegetables you use, depending what you have in the cupboard. I was surprised, (but really shouldn’t have been) that this dish tastes like a mince pasty – but better. [...]
Smoked mackerel sandwich filling
Smoked mackerel can be an acquired taste, however the really strong taste can be mellowed a bit by adding yoghurt. This recipe was intended to be a way of getting kids to eat fish – but it is a tasty snack for adults too!

Hollandaise sauce on the top goes perfectly with the salmon. This dish has lots of textures, and is great made [...]

Shropshire Fidget Pie
400 year old recipe, and still tastes great! Why “Fidget” I hear you ask – well some sources say apples used to be called ‘fitchets’, some say ‘fitchet’ means 5 sided (as the pie often used to be) and others say ‘fitchet’ is slang for polecat – there are NO polecats in the recipe!
