I’m using a Rosemary Conley recipe with a couple of tweaks, i.e. using spring onions in the mash.
Pictures later if I can!
Fish pie. Was exceedingly good! Although next time I won’t put vegetable stock in my sauce like Rosemary Conley suggests.

My first ever fish pie is in the oven.
First attempt at coffee and walnut cake. Need to make the middle bit neater somehow.

Here’s the second attempt at simnel cake - a thousand times better than the first.
Just baked my second simnel cake.
Couldn’t really give the family a broken cake so the first is being distributed around various people.
It worked out as 611 calories per slice, which is a lot but i’ll burn it off and I hardly ever get fruit cake.
My first simnel cake. I took it out of the tin too early and it fell apart, so i’m making another today, hopefully no accidents this time!
My first ever simnel cake is in the oven!
It looks amazing, smells great and the batter tastes divine. Here’s hoping the oven is ok, we usually have to put it a gas mark higher so I have done. Cooking time is 2 hours …wonder when it’s safe to check it.
The tray bake in the disposables…
Only time will tell.

This is what i’m making tonight, but we don’t have a roasting tin. I’m using disposable foil trays. They’re too small. Is this going to work??
