Salmon Mousse is a versatile food, perfect for making starters, sides and canapes. Many “vegetarian” friends of mine also eat fish, so this is a handy substitute for pate. The mousse goes quite firm after a night in the fridge so you can form it into shapes for a fancy presentation, or else just spoon [...]

On New Year’s Eve we went to a friend’s for dinner and were amazed by the construction of some parmesan funnels filled with cream cheese and prawns. I don’t like prawns at all but this dish was delicious. Parmesan baskets can be used as a fancy presentation device for salad, seafood and savoury mousse.
Ingredients
1 cup inexpensive [...]

Ingredients
Day 1
Potato mash
Tinned tuna (or tinned salmon or any other sort [...]

Just think how much money you would spend on a little pot of coleslaw from [...]
