Scalloped Potatoes
Traditionally scalloped potatoes are made with cream. You can make a dish equally as nice using milk in a very thin white (béchamel) sauce.
Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Pot Pie can have any kind of pastry on top. Phyllo is easy to work with for people who have an aversion to making pastry. You can also use frozen puff pastry or make or buy a regular pastry.
Fruit Crumble
You can use any combination of fruit for this recipe. This is a great dessert any time of the year.
Salmon with Curry Mayonnaise
This dish is so simple to make and so good. I try to remove all the bones from the fillets. Good tweezers kept in your kitchen drawer work very well for this.
Cheese Biscuits
My mum has been making these biscuits for years. They freeze very well in an airtight container and are great to have on hand for unexpected guests or for an after-school snack.
