Smoked Fish and Shellfish Pie

This tasty dish got the thumbs up from the resident tasters yesterday. No pici I’m afraid as the spoons were out before I had a chance to reach for the camera!

Quick and easy, and a choice of  topping making it versatile too. You might also like the no- topping version (instructions at the bottom of the Page)  which could be served with these delicious New Potatoes Baked in an Orange Scented Salt Crust with Mint and Rosemary.

Pistachio and Raspberry Financiers

The sum of wet outside plus spare egg whites in the fridge equals a cosy afternoon of baking.  Actually, I  made  Brown Sugar Pavlova, but since the recipe is  already  posted I thought I’d search out another treat that uses up surplus egg whites.

These little bite-sized financiers  are versatile – if you don’t have pistachios you can use just about any sort of ground nut that you have in the store cupboard. They can be made small to eat with coffee or as a petite fore, or made into a dessert by piping the batter into a ring mould.  Enjoy .
