How To Make Smoked Mackerel Pâté Posted by Unknown |

It's not very often I do a recipe as I'm not much of a cook, but this is so simple it's ridiculous. And so tasty! I used to make this at a lovely little café I worked in while studying in Edinburgh for the delicious open sandwiches they served. You can add horseradish and dill, but I've kept this as stripped back as possible. Three smoked mackerel fillets, half a tub of cream cheese, half a lemon and salt and pepper. Take the skins off the mackerel, chop it up into little pieces and then pop in a bowel. Add the cream cheese and lemon, salt and pepper and with a fork just mash it up. And there you have it. I love mine on toast and rice cakes.

Weekend Recipe: How To Make A Really Quick & Easy Rhubarb Chocolate Tart Posted by Unknown |

Ok, another first. A really simple recipe for rhubarb chocolate tart which I made yesterday (listening intently to Absolute 80s on the radio and keeping an eye on little cookie while he played) to take to a dinner party – first adult dinner party for a long time, and yes, we took the babe and put him to bed there, bliss. Of course, I forgot to take the final photo of the sliced up tart ready for serving up with a dollop of creme fraiche, but it looked great and tasted great. Not too sweet and the rhubarb adds a nice tang. The rhubarb just needs to be heated and will turn into a mush after about 10-15 minutes. Also for the amount of chocolate – the 110g above – I actually used 100g which is what's in a packet of Green & Black's. Enjoy!
