Christmas is approaching fast so I thought I would give you the recipe for candied apples (which in all fairness are great all year round). Although there is a fair bit of sugar used in this recipe, I do believe they are a great and healthier alternative to other Christmas treats.
Before you read on though, I would just like to ask for two seconds of your time to help me win a stay at Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland, which has been a dream of mine for years. I have entered a cooking competition with a delicious Thai green curry, which is a family recipe passed on to me by my mum, who comes from Thailand. All you need to do is to click here and press the like button just about the photo of me with my dish (I know I look a bit silly but hopefully it will catch the attention of Cully & Sully, the company behind the competition). Thanks for your support.

Pot roast quail is a great dish to serve when you are hosting a dinner party, but it is equally good for a mid-week meal, as this recipe is very little work with much achievement.
This recipe for pot roast quail with a creamy chanterelle sauce does not take much more than half an hour to make and it looks almost great served on top of mashed potatoes with the sauce poured on top.

Smoked trout mousse is a quick and easy dish, which is great on small pieces of bread and served as canapés, but it also makes a lovely lunch served on top of a slice of rye bread or other brown bread and drizzled with lemon juice.
You can also chose to serve the smoked trout mousse as a starter by shaping the mousse into the shape of an egg with the help of two spoons dipped in water. Serve the mousse on top of a crispy salad with a few lemon wedges and some bread on the side.
