This is a fish curry recipe I use when time is short. It makes a delcious meal with minimum effort and just a few ingredients from the pantry.

Now, back in the early ’80’s when I was frantically trying to find something to read there was nothing. Well, there was Elizabeth David [...]
A t-bone steak remains our favourite steak. These were beauties! Much too big of course it’s lucky we only enjoy these every couple of months.
