Fish & Chips (with mushy peas)

If ever there was a British national dish, this has to be it. Loved from John O’Groats to Land’s End, fish and chips is the perfect Friday night supper.
 

A fisherman’s tale

In mid-19th-century Britain, the worlds of Irish immigrants – with their potato dominated diet – and Jewish fried fish vendors collided, and a national dish was born, spawning countless chippies on high streets and seaside piers up and down the land. About a quarter of all white fish and 10 per cent of the potatoes now sold in Britain are sold in fish and chip shops. Not to mention the pickled onions and eggs, curry sauce and mushy peas that go with them.

Ham and Potato bake

I love anything with a cream sauce, and I had to find something to do with left over ham and asaparagus.

Caribbean Seasoning

Most jerk seasonings are wet mixtures that need to be refrigerated, but this dry mix will keep in your pantry for a last-minute barbecue.This seasoning is fabulous on mild-flavoured fish, such as tilapia, or chicken. A squeeze of lime or lemon juice just before serving brightens the flavour.
