The recipe I use is like this one - about half way down - tinned tuna fishcakes. I also use salmon or crab, instead.

If they're greasy, it may be because your oil isn't hot enough. Don't use much, but make sure your pan is really hot before putting the fish cake in.

HTH, Penny. x

See this is the problem I always have, getting the tempreature right. How do you choose how hot something is. There appears to be a fine line between too hot and not hot enough. I've been cooking for about 10 years now and I'm still non the wiser!

When I lived in Derby we did cooking in school and I loved it. Then we moved to Birmingham and I had to go into an all boys school and do wood work and metal work... Complete waste of time with me. I'd have loved to have carried on cooking, I loved it, and it'd given me a real life skill. Oh well.

PS. I'm not gay!

Take your frying pan, put in enough oil to just cover the base of the pan. Put it on a medium heat. After a minute or so, add a small cube of bread. If it browns nicely, the fat's hot enough. If it sits and just soaks up the fat, not hot enough, and if it burns.............

That's what I hope will happen with me. I am notorious for writing out meal plans but 2 or 3 times a week with different dishes on all using the food that I have in for that particular week!

WHAT!?! You give the leaves to your rabbit?

Celery leaves are delicious, full of flavour - put them in with the rest of your salad.

Do you know what - I hadn't even thought of that!! The rabbit is missing out on so much already. I cook and liquidise down broccoli stumpy bits etc now that the rabbit would previously have had to put in veg soups. That's one more thing poor old Jasper is going to be missing out on - perhaps a bit now and then!
