Potato Pastry Topped Fish Pie

Potato Pastry Fish Pie

There is a certain point in winter when I start to crave pies - and fish pie is a real favourite of mine. When I was a child these pies generally were topped with fluffy mashed potato and decorated with grated cheese, toasted breadcrumbs (for a lovely crunch and golden colour) and slices of beef tomatoes. A nice twist to this traditional version is to replace the mashed potato with a lovely potato pastry - this pie was a real success yesterday! As we were entertaining we opted to decorate … [Read more...]

Cullen Skink is a soup which originated from a small town called Cullen in Morayshire, Scotland. I used to live maybe thirty minutes up the road from there. Made with haddock, potatoes and onions it is lovely warming soup for cold days. Rather ironically a "skink" is traditionally a soup made of shin of beef. But in this case, Cullen Skink, is made from Smoke Haddock. I sampled this delightful soup in Cullen for the first time, it was a small fish & chip shop, famous in the local area for … [Read more...]

I recently fell upon the following video which has a wonderful recipe for Thai Fishcakes which I would wholeheartedly recommend! … [Read more...]

I, like "the foodie", am not a chef, but I do love food and cooking. Over the course of the next few weeks I would like to start by posting some of my old favourites, which have previously been posted on my personal blog - Mizmoe.
