Plus, there are lots of recipes for fish, as well as salads and vegetables too. No MaryBerry cookbook would be complete without a selection of baking recipes, you’ll find plenty to choose from in the chapters for Desserts & Puddings, Sweet Pies & Tarts, and not forgetting Cakes & Biscuits
The book includes chapters for starters and canapés, pork, beef & lamb, poultry & game, fish, vegetables & salad, pasta & rice, hot & cold puddings and tea time recipes
I was slightly disappointed with the rise but that’s only because I didn’t use a heaped teaspoon of baking powder and as maryberry and paul hollywood have taught me to always fold egg white into the batter until it’s no longer visible unlike this recipe it said Gently fold the egg white mixture into the batter
Squishy Salmon Fishcakes. When I can I eat organic but I am not a vegetarian or vegans, in fact I quite like fish and meat if it comes from a reliable source
I top the soft fish fillets with some cheesy soufflé croutons which I once saw MaryBerry make. For the soufflé croutons (adapted from a recipe by MaryBerry)
Plus, on Tuesday night, I made a MaryBerry Chocolate Orange Ganache cake to celebrate a colleague’s belated birthday which we shared in work on Wednesday
(taken from The Busy Mum’s Vegetarian Cookbook by Mary Gwynn Simon & Schuster). Try it the traditional way for the month – grilled and served with a tart gooseberry sauce
Wednesday – Spaghetti Carabonara from my new MaryBerry book. The worst we did at the weekend was the pizza, a meal out on Saturday night but I did make healthy choices and fish and chips by the sea on Sunday
I made this one last year using MaryBerry’s recipe. Omit the sherry and cranberry sauce too. This year to make it low FODMAP I will use spring onion tops instead of the onion and I’ll count how many cloves I have added (so I can fish them out)
Mercotte is to France what MaryBerry is to the UK. After all the excitement, the chocolate, the opera cakes, lunch, more various dessert tastings, there was … another gourmet dinner
