The Mock Turtle

I'd smash that, Diccers. Has it got smoked haddock in?

Yes, beautiful undyed smoke haddock.

I need to put some smoked haddock on the weekly menu next week I think. The last time I got some from Sainsbury's, it was really mushy though. I need to go to a proper shop I think.

I got two fillets from M&S and they were lovely. Firm, white and flaky.

Oh ta. I think I'll go there then. And either do a kedge or try that omelette.

ETA I do think food quality has gone down recently at Sainsbury's. I usually buy these thin steaks that are good for stir fry but they were absolutely inedibly tough the last time I got them

Yes, try the M&S. I loved them.

I had great steaks from Asda recently. Thin cut ones and I stir fried those. It was like butter.

Pie inspired by emma.

Oh that’s so pretty, Dics. It looks delicious.

Ohhh that does look lovely. That is my tea tonight!

Looks amazing, Dics! I really want to make it now but we’re on holiday this week and I don’t have the ingredients. There is cheap wild garlic in the local fruit and veg shop too! Maybe I can make garlic bread to help with the craving.

Yes, make garlic bread. I picked so much I might make sup some chicken stock with it blitzed in it and freeze for a couple of future pies.

I'm joining in! It's so tasty. I have enough pastry and filling in the freezer to do another one.

I’m going to visit you all and judge the best pie.

I recreated the salad from the café my sister uses for bookshop events. I had to cook two lots of buckwheat to get it right.

What is it Pip? It looks right up my street.

It’s this! I thought it was homemade, but the café buys it in in massive quantities. Buckwheat, peas, broad beans & spinach, with a vinaigrette dressing.

This is a very spring green page! Pie and salad both looks lovely.

I need to get broad beans in toi my life. I planted some outside I might pop out and see if anything is happening.

To take away the pain of being back at work after 12 days off, I got myself a pastry treat yesterday.

That looks amazing, Est! Lemon frangipane sounds so delicious.

That does look good!

I finally got around to making HCB&B pudding.

ooh! Does it have marmalade?
