I think your photography is fine – I find it really hard to photograph my dishes with my little samsung! Nice recipe though, I’ll be saving this one!
Thank you Gemma. Your photos look good too! I use my Droid phone.
Your fish casserole sounds great. Some meals are always way better than they look. It is impossible to get a good photo of some dishes.
Very true. Thanks, Karen!
It kind of reminds of a Shepherd’s pie with fish. Have to try it out.
A lovely fish casserole and once you´ve opened that wine…well, it would be rude not to have a few slurps!
