This is a twist on his classic soda bread recipe. Perfect for fresh baked bread on the fly. I bumped up the seed amounts, and used spelt flour in place of whole what/wholemeal - but stuck to the recipe beyond that. Beautiful crust and crumb with minimal effort. A stand-up example of soda bread.

Curry in a fish pie? Yep and guess what, it really did work! The subtle spice doesn't take away from the delicate fish nor does is it out of place with the béchamel sauce, in fact it adds another dimension to this tried and tested recipe. River Cottage suggest pastry or mashed potato for the topping- I used breadcrumbs (had some to use up), I also added some frozen peas to the pie mix which worked really well and served it with a baked potato and some asparagus- yum! I recommend this fish pie with a twist- comfort food at its best :)

This cheap cut (€3/breast) was remarkably tasty. It helped that my butcher trimmed off the fat and removed the bones (& provided string to secure the rolled meat-legend!). The sweet apricot and shallot stuffing complimented the really succulent, tender lamb. Aniseed notes from the delicious roasted fennel and the citrus zing of lemon proved a lovely addition to the flavour combination. Next time I would add some flaked almonds to the couscous to give an additional texture.

This is absolutely delicious. I am a HUGE butternut squash fan so this was right up my street.. I tried 2 different stuffings for the squash- blue cheese, walnuts and honey- fantastic, had half of the butternut squash but will make it a quarter next time as it was really filling with the blue cheese- brilliant with a salad though. The second was bacon and Gruyère cheese, this time I only had a quarter but could have ate more! It wasn't nearly as overpowering as the previous stuffing, however, both were delicious.. Perfect with a lovely green salad and potato wedges or on its own for lunch..Next attempt will be the third suggestion- crème fraiche and herbs or my own- jalapeno peppers and cheddar cheese topped with crushed tortilla chips!
