samurai cheese straws

samurai cheese strawsThe name comes from the folding and rolling method of incorporating the cheese into the pastry. This method reminds me of the folded steel method of making swords used by ancient Japanese sword-smiths.

Very tasty, very easy and far better than the bought alternatives. Use shop bought pastry, to save time. The mixture of cheeses is really up to you, but I favour cheddar and parmesan.

smoked haddock rarebit

With only two ingredients this recipe is a great combination of the sea (haddock) and land (cheese).haddock and cheese

If you can get you hands on some, use Y-Fenni cheese, a great Welsh cheddar blended with ale and mustard seed, it complements the smoky fish perfectly.

If you can’t get Y-Fenni substitute it by spreading the fish with a coarse grained mustard before covering with a mature cheddar.

lazy!I love fish with spinach and this is a great opportunity to bring together that heavenly combination! So serve with some mashed potato (champ if you fancy) and quickly blanched spinach with a hint of nutmeg.
