Happy New Year to you all I hope that you have an enjoyable and safe one. Best wishes to you and your families for 2013.
I don't make New Years' Resolution but one thing I have promised myself is that I cook more new recipes and definitely blog more! LOL it's like there is a void in me when I leave it too long in between posts especially when the subject is food. I actually get excited when I sit down to post as I know that I am not only sharing a meal with you all but that you actually get pleasure out of reading all about it... I guess that's why we are called "Foodies", right?
So here goes my first A Dash Of Flavour blog post for 2013...
With the weather being seriously hot here in Melbourne these last few days cooking up feasts in the kitchen has be not really an option and I am sure that many barbecues around the State have been working in overdrive... ours has! From the simple sausage in bread to tonight's feast I am surprised we haven't ran out of cooking gas yet.
This Crunchy Parmesan and Chive Baked Fish Fillets was very easy to prepare not to mention quite quick to cook. Although the recipe cooks it in the oven we had no problems cooking in on the bbq with the hood closed. The topping was crunchy and had a definite cheesy onion flavour from the seasoning. The fillets we used were quite thick so once cooked they were tender and juicy while still remaining intact and holding the shape.
A definite winner for kids young and old......
