I'm not so much wannabe chef as a wannabe food taster. I just love trying new foods. I started cooking at an early age, mum was bed ridden and dad and big sis were at work so the task fell to me when I got home from school. Mum would shout out instructions from her bed in the living room and I would juggle pots, pans and ingredients in the kitchen. We did quite well between us.
Over the years I've collected recipes and cook books, working on the assumption that every book has at least one good recipe in it, you just have to eat a lot of crap sometimes before find it. Once I have though (found it, that is), it goes into my own personal cookbook, which,I've decided it's time to share.....

Fish and leek pie

FISH AND LEEK PIE
Serves 3-4

INGREDIENTS:
1lb floury potatoes, boiled and mashed
4 oz (100g) broccoli, cooked
1 ½ oz butter
1 small leek, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 lb (500g) white fish fillets, skinned and cut into medium sized chunks
4 oz (100g) cooked prawns
small handful baby spinach or rocket
3 tbsp double cream
1 tbsp natural yogurt
1 tsp mustard powder
seasoning to taste

METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/GMk 4.
Mash the potatoes and broccoli together with the ½ oz of butter and set aside.
Melt the remaining butter in a large pan and add the leeks and garlic. Cook gently until the leeks are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the spinach or rocket and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the mustard powder, cream and yogurt. Season to taste.
Place the fish and prawns in an oven proof dish and gently mix in the leek mixture.
Spread the potatoes and broccoli over the top and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the fish is cooked and the top is golden. Serve.
