Cosy Fish and Lager Pie

Packed with everything you’d expect in a traditional fish pie (except the mash topping), this one gets a subtle glow up with the addition of a little fish sauce and lager, giving it a richer and slightly saltier flavour (but strangely, without making it taste too fishy). The sliced leeks and shallots balance by bringing a little sweetness to the creamy sauce, while the golden puff pastry lid adds the flaky, crunchy texture you’ll miss with the traditional mash topping. Do yourself a favour and serve it up with some tender stem broccoli – you’re not going to want to miss out on dunking them into the sauce!

Tagliatelle Arrabiata

I’m convinced that pasta is the culinary version of Natural Look Makeup; sure, it looks simple – but actually, it takes time and skill to pull it off and do it well. So I don’t bother trying… much.
