Apple and Raspberry Cake by Alison Minotti.

(Caro substituted poached quinces and plums)

3 granny smith apples

125 gram butter melted

1 ½ cups self-raising flour

¾ cup caster sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon of vanilla

1 punnet of raspberries

Thick cream to serve

Pre- heat oven to 180c. Grease and line a round cake tin with baking paper. Slice and cook the apples. Drain and wrap cooked apples in kitchen paper to absorb as much moisture as possible.

Melt the butter. Add the flour (sifted), sugar, egg and vanilla and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Press three quarters of the mix into the cake tin, pushing it up the sides. Spread the apple on top and scatter the raspberries on top. Drop dobs of the remaining mixture over the top. Bake for 40-45mins.

Allow the cake to firm before turning it out. Sift icing sugar on top and serve with cream (or ice-cream).

David Herbert's Fish Pie (from The Weekend Australian)

2 cups (500ml) fish stock

500g skinless salmon fillets

500g skinless white fish fillets

300g uncooked peeled prawns

175g frozen peas, defrosted

1 tablespoon chopped chives

1 cup (250ml) white wine

1 cup (250ml) double cream

1 heaped tablespoon cornflour

Topping

1kg new or chat potatoes, halved

500g sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

3 tablespoons olive oil

Bunch spring onions, chopped

140g cheddar cheese, grated

2 tablespoons chopped chives

Place stock in saucepan and bring to the boil; add fish fillets, simmer gently for 5 minutes. Remove fish with slotted spoon, reserving the stock, and flake into large chunks, removing any bones. Spread into an ovenproof dish with prawns, peas and chives. Bring reserved stock, wine and cream to the boil; remove from heat. Mix cornflour to a paste with 1 tablespoon of water; whisk into sauce. Return to heat and cook, stirring, until thickened. Pour sauce over fish; set aside. Boil all potatoes in salted water until tender.

Drain, then return to pan with olive oil, spring onions and half the cheese and chives. Season, and crush lightly with a fork or potato masher. Spoon potato topping over fish; sprinkle with remaining cheese and chives. Cook for 30-35 minutes in a preheated 190C (fan) oven until topping is golden and the filling is bubbling. Serves 4-6
