you must share the recipe your food is inspiring  

That looks very nice. Using philo pastry is great idea 👍 

Leahanne, the recipe is from Quick Roasting Tin (Rukmini Iyer). I’ve found her last two books excellent but the recipes in this are a bit hit and miss. She suggests, for two people, 300g fish cut in small chunks , a small head of broccoli cut in small florets, mixed with 160g coconut cream, juice and zest of a lime, a stick of lemongrass and two kaffir lime leaves. You mix it in your tin, salt, scrunch over three sheets of filo, brush with oil and bake for 25 mins in 180 fan oven. Actually it was a bit bland and next time I would add some Thai green curry paste. Also it wasn’t enough cooking time for the broccoli so next time I would blanche it first. We aren’t fussy eaters but we do like to cook and have opinions 🤣 

Fish yes 

Hello, Januswoman, how are you. I see your weight is going down nicely so don't worry. Been nearly 50 ix nothing try 62. I don't think my feather duster would of cleared the ice yesterday. We will see what it needs to do to day😅🤣😂. Not ice i hope. Have a lovely day best wishes Merrymel 

Hi Merry Mel, well yes they say it gets harder to shift as you get older but I think that’s partly due to less muscle and I work hard on my muscles! I bet you do too with such a physical job. I’m good thanks, seeing the positives in this situation and keeping safe xx 

Looks delicious.
