123. Fish baked with potatoes (R Allen)

Rating: 4.5/5
Comment: This surprised me - I'm not a huge fan of fish like cod,hake or haddock, but this made hake taste delicious. Diced potatoes and red onion with oil, roasted, and then the fish laid on top for the last 12-18 minutes. Added some cajun seasoning to the potatoes/onions for an extra bite - worked perfectly.

Comment: I really wasn't certain how this was going to work out - uses cream to bring together honey and dijon mustard. it was tasty enough and very fast to prep and cook.

Comment: This was surprisingly nice. I thought there would be too much leek in it but it had a lovely taste. I didn't include celery and it wasn't missed. Used beef stock rather than plain water.
Use again? Yes.

104. Tarragon Chicken (R Allen)

Rating: 4/5
Comment: This was tasty enough and very easy, even with dried tarragon, but I think the amount of stock specified is too much. At 1 pint the liquid is supposedly meant to reduce and thicken after simmering for about 8 minutes - it took over 15 minutes and it still hadn't reduced down by much. (I used the kindle version of the book which may have mistakes). However, it did still taste lovely and was so easy - great for mid-week dinner. This uses creme fraiche.
Use again? Yes.

Comment: Very tasty pork loin chops and very fast to prepare. This uses eating apples, cider, sage and creme fraiche. My mother told me about this and I will definitely be making this time and time again. I used yoghurt this last time which split on me so I think I'll stick to creme fraiche.

Comment: My mum discovered this tasty and easy cake. The recipe suggested throwing all the ingredients into a food processor. I've never mixed up cake mixture using that method before so I thought I'd give it a try - not for me - I find hand mixers are more effective and less washing up!
Use it again: Yes.
