500g skinless and boneless white fish

2 large carrots

100g frozen peas

1 bay leaf

mixing bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

First make the topping: Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Place the flour in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the flour. Add the oats and, using a fork, mash the butter into the flour and oats until the mixture looks like large breadcrumbs. This could take a child up to 5 mins. Add the cheese and stir until mixed together well. Set this aside as you prepare the filling. To make the filling: Cut the cod into finger-sized pieces and place in the buttered oven-proof dish. Peel the carrots and cut into pieces the size and shape of your little finger. Put the carrots in the same dish as the cod, then add the peas and the prawns. To make the sauce: Place the butter into a saucepan and allow to melt over a medium heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat, then add the flour, stirring to form a thick smooth paste. Place the saucepan back over the heat and cook for 2 mins to remove the starchy taste. Gradually add the milk, a little at a time, and stir with a wooden spoon, making sure that no lumps appear, until you have a smooth sauce. This mixture should resemble the consistency of double cream. When the sauce has come to the boil, turn down the heat and simmer for 2 mins. Season with pepper according to taste. Add the parsley and bay leaf, then pour the sauce over the fish, carrots and peas. Finally: Sprinkle the topping you made earlier over the fish and sauce. Place the dish into the oven, then bake for approximately 20-25 mins or until the topping is golden and crunchy. Remove from the oven and serve with crispy salad or mashed root vegetables

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
