Nothing Fishy about more Practise
It is all in the presentation and the crockery. Flatware from by Trish O'Keefe (a gifted friend and market pal) and the bowls by the late Paul de Jongh (so often part of our meals).
I am getting these versatile, budget beating pilchard fish cakes right. This time, I took @lizelle's advice and added an egg. This time, they were coated in a mixture of oats and crumbs made from left over sourdough bread.
Like last time, and because I don't like waste, the sauce was made from the tomato sauce from the can. Added to some chopped onion and garlic and this time, I added a dash of sweet chilli sauce to counter the saltiness.
This time, I served them with salad and reduced the size (I used a ⅓ cup measure). Last time I used a ½ cup, and they were too big. The other advantage is that I have six over for the freezer and for Friday suppers after long and soon to be hot kitchen days.
Until next time, be well

- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I plan to add them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.

Oh yum Fiona, I'm definitely not throwing the sauce away next time, your fish cakes look sooo good!
We are without electricity again, but this time not loadshedding, it's an explosion at a major sub-station so 50% of Durban is without electricity!!!
What a pain, Lizelle. We've had the odd splutter here which worries me for our appliances. The less said about supply (and no flipping switches), the better.
Hope you're soon up and running again...
wow the food looks delicious and tasty. let us taste ;)
You're one heck of a chef and I'm one heck of a good eater, what do you think about teaming up?
I usually wait until after my belly is full before looking at any food posts, otherwise, I start to drool all over the keyboard.
A you wanna team up with The Husband? He's also a good eater! That's one of the reasons I enjoy cooking...and thank you. I think. Hope your keyboard's not drowned...
first eat dish by eyes than by mouth, presentation plays an important role as it make it more tempting.... your presentation of dish is really attractive.. thanks for sharing...
keep hiving...
