Made a pretty fabulous Salmon en Croute this evening.
Can't claim any credit for the recipe - it was taken from Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food.

You've probably heard about this book by now, but I honestly couldn't recommend it highly enough - got it for Christmas last year and it's made a big difference to my approach and know how in the kitchen. I'm a regular lemon, garlic, olive oil etc user - things I had no idea how to use until I read it.
I always thought Mr. Oliver was a bit of an idiot, gurning away on the tv screen, but to be fair you have to admire his crusades (see this link for the latest in the US: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6916590.ece) and the Ministry of Food book and approach is excellent - aiming to teach everyone a few simple dishes they can make.
Anyone can use this book and make something they can genuinely be proud of - as I am proud of this evening's Salmon en Croute. You'd see it in a restaurant and think 'no way could I make that', but it was honestly a doddle - half an hour to prep, roughly same to cook - and you couldn't get it wrong.
Heven't told the other half how easy it was though - stacking up the brownie points always a good plan.
