Mustard-baked mackerel

January 9, 2019Anna's Best Recipes Main courses

This is is a super simple recipe I concocted today, inspired by a Nigel Slater recipe. Its ideal for a one-person dinner, or for a family. The mustard and lime lift the richness of the oily fish and are amazing for you too. For 2: 2 fresh mackerel fillets 1 dsp […]

Christmas gravdlax or gravadlax (dill cured salmon)

December 19, 2018Anna's Best Recipes Main courses Sides, starters, soups & snacks

This is a recipe I love. We eat it Christmas day with a simple salad of watercress and lambs lettuce. Instead of doing what the recipe says (wrapping everything in foil while it cures) I use a glass box with plastic lid to keep everything compressed during 5-8 days or curing. Much less fiddly. […]

Kipper with herby Mediterranean vegetables

March 11, 2015Anna's Best Recipes Breakfasts & smoothies Main courses

This is a great breakfast (or any meal) and is super fast. The kippers are left to stand in boiling water for a few minutes while you grill the courgettes and tomatoes, simple… I like to remove the skin of the kipper before cooking because otherwise it causes the fish to curl up unattractively. But […]

It brought me right back to sister Carmel’s home economics class in my convent school many years ago. Only she used breadcrumb stuffing instead of gluten-free chestnut stuffing. If you want, you can make the […]

Ate these last Sunday for a late and leisurely breakfast. If you have ever successfully made ordinary pancakes, these will be a doddle for you. Buckwheat galettes are a traditional pancake made in Brittany and eaten with savory fillings. They are naturally gluten-free. If you want, you can store them in the fridge for 1 […]

Poached salmon with aioli

July 25, 2013Anna's Best Recipes Main courses

Poaching is a very easy way to cook fish and is really nice, provided you make an interesting sauce or drizzle to go with it. Unlike frying or grilling, it doesn’t smell throughout the house either. For this meal, I made aioli, a delicious natural garlic mayonnaise. You can see the recipe in the sauces […]
