The Recipe Index has been posted by me, which means it's only me that can edit/add to it because people cant edit other peoples posts. Hence Mumzy asking me to add to it.

I did it as an easy way for everyone to find all the wonderful recipes that get posted on this thread. But if I've missed a recipe on here that you'd like to see linked on there or if any of the links dont work let me know and I'll sort it out. :A

Fish Pie

Fish of your choice I use a mix of cod and salmon
Potatoes, peeled & cubed
Peas
Butter/marge
Corn flour (use plain if you dont have corn flour)
Milk
Grated cheese
Boiled eggs, quartered (optional)

1. Poach the fish in the milk. It doesn’t matter too much how you cook the fish - I poach the cod and microwave the salmon/ or you could cook all the fish in the oven gas4 for 20mins while the potatoes are boiling. Its up to you but poaching in the milk used for the sauce adds to the flavour.
2. While the fish is cooking, boil & mash the potatoes.
3. Reserve the milk for the sauce and flake the fish into your oven dish, adding some peas and the boiled eggs (if using) I think people add eggs when they are just using white fish but I'm not sure cos I dont add them myself
4. Make a white sauce by melting about a heaped tbsp of butter in a pan, adding a heaped tbsp of flour and cooking off for a min Then gradually add the reserved milk, whisking all the time until thickened. You could add some grated cheese to make a cheese sauce and you can add herbs of your choice to the sauce. I use parsley.
5. Pour this over the fish & peas and mix in thoroughly.
6. Top with mashed potato and grated cheese.
7. Bung in the oven (gas 7) for 20 mins or put it under the grill until the cheese has melted

Had quite a productive day, made 1 doz raspberry muffins, 1 doz strawberry muffins and 2 doz fairy cakes. Was going to post a piccie but couldn't work out how.....

Attempted Cornish pasties for tea, they weren't bad for a first go, the pastry stuck even though I greased well, there was also too much mix for the psatry. Recipe made 4, 1 left, not sure what to do, OH could have tomorrow for tea, or was wondering can I freeze, if so what do I need to do when using later, do I thaw then warm? Anyone know please?

Well done with all that cooking but I can feel the weight going on just reading your post :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Hey all, I found something in my indian cookbook that I thought was good. Take 1litre of milk bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins.
Pour it into a glass bowl and leave to cool for 40 mins until tepid.
Take 3 tbsp out and mix with 2tbsp of natural yoghurt and then stir into the rest of the milk.
Now this is the weird bit, put a tea cosy over the container and leave overnight. In the morning you will have some yoghurt...
Yogurt will keep for 3 days, then just leave 2 tbsp to make your next lot...

Sounds good if you use a lot of yogurt...

Hi
First week over and spent £17.37. Quite pleased as that includes a box of wine marked down in Asda to £6.99 and just right for camping next weekend.

Allotment doing well and providing all veg and salad so using money to stock up on store cupboard items as they seem to be going up sooo fast.

Have a good week everyone
