Well, it’s more like ‘Frogs in a Field’! My mum used to make this version of Toad in the Hole and it was one of my favourite meals as a child. Though it is based on the classic dish, there are a few added extras with one of the main differences being that I chop… Continue reading Toad in the Hole with a Twist

I mentioned our Homemade Fish fingers that use cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs which prompted her to reveal this, even simpler method of coating chicken nuggets, using mayonnaise and Rice Krispies!

The addition of a stock… Continue reading Crunchy Salmon Fishcakes
