Basic Fish Batter for your Homemade Takeaway

This is your go-to recipe for the easiest tasty deep fried fish batter, using ingredients you probably already have in the cupboard! I've used it on cod, haddock and sea bass fillets, this recipe will be enough for 2 fillets.

STOP OVERTHINKING YOUR SOURDOUGH AND STARTER

If you're stressing about your sourdough, don't. (Doughn't). The stretching and folding process is fairly forgiving. I've often forgotten about my dough and it's been absolutely FINE. Don't panic, it's just bread.

Toad in the Hole - My Version

My (enhanced) version of the classic British dish, with a couple of extras that make me happy. A hot comfort treat meal, especially through the winter months to evoke a bit of nostalgia. Serve with gravy, sauce, mash, vegetables, or just eat the entire dish of toad in the whole on its own! I like it with a bit of my own homemade mayonnaise too. And no, I don't know why it's called "Toad in the Hole", there are no amphibians involved.

Potato Salad - Czech/European/Slavic/Olivier style

Potato salad is a core dish in Eastern European home cooking, and it's traditional for every family to have their own unique recipe. This particular version is based on my late father's recipe, who always measured from the heart. You might know this potato salad as a Czech or Slovak version, (eastern) European, Slavic, or Oliver style.
