Hey! Good lookin’!

[Disco]

That salad looks great, emma. I'm craving crunch and vegetation.

[AshleyX]

The salad does indeed look perfect for now - delicious, Emma. I’m craving the same, disco, so am making fish tacos with loads of crunchy vegetables like red cabbage.

Great thread title!

[Edith Bacon]

I love the thread title and emma’s dish has given me such strong cravings for salad! Gorgeous bowl too.

[AshleyX]

Here are my fish tacos with crunchy spicy cod goujons, guacamole, red cabbage slaw, and lime crema. They were really good. Next time I think I’d also make a tomatoey salsa as I think that would add something extra. Also, I fucked up the tortillas so resorted to my emergency shop-bought ones!

[Disco]

That looks great Ashley! I'll be doing something similar in the near future!

[Pippedydeadeye]

That looks lovely Ashley!

I really enjoyed this. I just pan fried the sea bass then served it with the salad & added buttered baby new potatoes.

[AshleyX]

Thanks!

That looks fantastic, Pip. Yours looks even nicer than the picture in the recipe. So fresh and healthy and tasty. I might give it a go soon too.

Aaaaand here I come with brown stodge as per usual. It’s pigs in blanket, shredded brussels and peas with orzo.

[AshleyX]

That looks and sounds delicious! Is it toasted pine nuts and melted cheese on top?

[Edith Bacon]

I love these!

Great use of PiBs and sprouts!

And I agree that yours looks superior to the other picture, Pip. It looks really fresh.

I had smoked salmon to use up so we had smoked salmon linguine. It was lush.

It is! Vintage mature cheddar.

This page is pure freshness if we gloss over my leftovers.

[AshleyX]

Amazing. What a way to use up leftovers. Plenty time for fresh food in Jan!

The smoked salmon linguine looks gorgeous too.

[Pippedydeadeye]

I’d smash through that quite happily Dic! And Edith’s too.

This thread is great! I'm trying to cook more fish so this is good inspo.

I've only tried to make corn tortillas once but they weren't great. I bulk buy Cool Chile Company ones in 1kg packs and freeze them now.

S made another dish from the Meera Sodha book last night - mushroom mapo tofu which was nice but very unphotogenic and we were missing the chilli bean sauce which I think was an important ingredient! I've ordered some and will try it again.

I’m going to make poha rice with smoked mackerel soon (when I get the rice & fish, so probably at the weekend).

Do you need the Sri Lankan katta sambol paste too? It sounds good. I'm not that fond of mackerel although I try because it's so good for you.

S is suck a stickler for recipes he bought 2 packets of shitake mushrooms yesterday rather than just use slightly less than the recipe suggested. I guess I'll be making something with shitake mushrooms in the near future :))

[Pippedydeadeye]

I love mackerel. I’ve ordered the katta Sambol too.

[Morganna]

I've just eaten Creamy Lemon Chicken from Pinch of Nom.

It was quick and easy (I used leftover cooked chicken), and considering it only has a few calories more than a KitKat wasn't bad at all. That's their photo - I troughed it down before thinking to take one of mine. Plus, I halved the sauce and put chickpeas in M's, so none of it looked great

I like the look of that mackerel and rice Pip.
