This is an easy tray bake with lots of dried apricots, sultanas and orange juice. The fruit and juice give the cake a nice moist texture. This is lovely on its own as a snack or for afternoon tea. Alternatively, serve warm for pudding with custard or fromage frais.

Lovely with a crisp green salad, this simple tart is delicious warm or cold. You could just as easily use young leaf spinach and peas instead

These are ideal for parties as you can vary the filling to suit your guests. They work well using tuna instead of the salmon. Or leave out the salmon and add chopped, sautéed pepperswith the spring onions, adding a little goats’ cheese and finely chopped herbs before baking.

You can make double the recipe and freeze half for another day. This is great to make if you have children as they can help to dip and coat the fish. It is also a good finger food for babies that are able to feed themselves.
