It’s corn as the song goes. I totally agree it’s juicy and sweet. I had a love hate relationship with polenta and stayed away from it for awhile but decided to try it again thanks to A well known yellow and blue supermarket that has themed country weeks. Yes I like it again and realise…

Crispy Calamari with A Salt and Pepper Polenta Batter
I always order calamari when I’m out as long as it’s fresh. My favourite bits are the tentacles. It has to be a really crispy batter and have a good amount of seasoning. They key is for the oil to be smoking and to literally cook it for a max of 2 minutes. These were…
Pan Fried Hake on a Tomato and Chive Beurre Blanc Sauce
Amazing I can’t wait to have this again with different types of white fish. I saw this idea on Saturday kitchen. It looked so amazing I just had to try it. I tweaked it a little bit by adding fish stock instead of wine as I thought it would too be acidic, it worked perfectly….
Hot Smoked Salmon on Wild Rice and Peas
This is such a simple salad but delicious I cooked the rice in stock so it didn’t need a dressing I have found such a good technique which is foolproof for cooking the rice which stops it sticking together. Ingredients 1 fillet hot smoked salmon, skin removed 1 cup wild rice 1 1/2 cup chicken…
Lemon and Pepper Monkfish Medallions with a Hot Lemon Vinaigrette
If you fancy trying a non-fishy fish (I know that sounds crazy) and want to wow guests with something different try this recipe. Monkfish is more meaty and chunky, it is a bit like chicken, it is tasty and sweet but is firm enough to take on spices, you can even use it for a…
Florentine Style Baked Cod
This is quite an old school recipe but I had it in Egypt of all places and I forgot how nice it was. I used cod in my recipe but any meaty fish will be fine. I put a spin on it by using parsley sauce, I made a batch as I had a bag…
Simple Smoked Trout and Gherkin Salad with a Honey Mustard Dressing
I love this time of year as all the cured fish and meats are available and there are usually offers too. I love smoked trout as it is more delicate than salmon. Gherkins and smoked fish go so well together and you get a lovely sweetness from the honey mustard. Ingredients (serves 2) 100g pack…
Cod and Lentils with a Red Wine Sauce
P and I had a long weekend in Winchester, it was a foodie weekend due to the restaurants we visited. Our first stop was hugh’s river cottage restaurant which served lovely food and the decor was beautiful. The next night we went to rick steins restaurant I had a shellfish platter and P had monkfish…
Smoked Haddock and Leek Arancini with Tomato Sauce and Crispy Capers
This is such a good way to use up leftover rice. I made the risotto myself as I couldn’t wait to try this out. I got the idea from a tapas restaurant we went to, one of the dishes we ordered was the cod arancini they were delicious but I thought the cod got lost…
Fresh Crab and Asparagus Risotto
As I originally come from Torquay I have always liked crab as we had the famous brixham crab. Luckily up here in the southeast they have really good fish and shellfish so I’m still enjoying it. I’m funny with food as I go off an ingredient have a break and then like it again, asparagus…
Pan Fried Gurnard on a Fennel and Parmesan Gratin
Keeping the healthy new year kick going I’m trying to cut out some of my carb intake. If you like liquorice or better still a shot of Pernod then you’ll love fennel as it have a lovely aniseed flavour. I always think Gurnard are such a pretty fish as they are red with yellow and…
Miso Sea Bass on Spring Onion, Ginger and Coriander Stir Fried Rice
I really enjoy trying new dishes and flavours. I have had some fails where the flavours don’t work or an Asian product I have bought which tastes really funky. Miso however is one of the ingredients that has stayed in the fridge. It has a subtle sweet, savoury and salty flavour. As it is so…
Pan Fried Sea Bass with Cherry Tomato, Wine and Thyme Sauce
Tomatoes are so amazing this time of year we are having them in salads, oven bakes and in sauces. Sea bass is another great summer ingredient so I combined the two together. This is a fresh tasty summery dinner. The fish, tomatoes and thyme really compliment each other. Ingredients (serves 2) 2 sea bass fillets,…
John Dory Fillets with a Caper and Lemon Sauce and Stir Fried Kale with Pancetta
I love going to the fishmonger and buying local fish as your not sure what you are going to get or what is in season. So on this visit they had some stunning John Dory. It is quite a distinctive looking fish with its sail fins and black dot (I’m sure there is a religious…
Healthy Baked Smoked Haddock, Chive and Prawn Fishcakes with Homemade Tartar Sauce
So I had some potatoes I didn’t use on Sunday and I fancied something light for dinner. These fishcakes worked a treat. I love smoked haddock and thought I would use it in these fishcakes. Making your own tartar sauce is great as you can adjust it to your own taste. I love capers and…
