QUICK SALMON PATE

I confess to liking salmon, whether it’s smoked, baked, grill or even tinned, so that’s probably why I really like this salmon pate.  You need to use red salmon to get a good flavour, that makes it a little more expensive, but it does make a good amount.  As it says it’s quick, easy to make and everyone seems to like it.  Also, leftovers are great on toast this next morning!!!

CHICKEN COOKED IN CIDER

A couple of years ago my youngest son had a great holiday in Tasmania and came back with several bottles of a new cider he’d discovered – Pagan Cider.  Since then we always have a few bottles in the fridge, one of which I’m now going to use to try this chicken recipe – guess I’d better make it when he’s coming for dinner.

LEMON BUTTER FISH

It’s a bit strange to see this 70s recipe using tinned carrots and tinned stir fry vegetables.  The article says ‘hearty meals – don’t have to mean hours of work”, but  I think using apacket of prepared fresh vegetables, that are available now in the supermarket, would be a lot tastier and just as easy.
