Do you have food memories that take you right back to a moment in time? I do. Most of my memories are linked to food (there’s an over emotional post, very close to my heart, about that subject in case you fancy a peek: here). Fish pie immediately takes me back to introducing my babies to food. That time between 6 months and 18 months was, if I’m honest, not an easy one. The visitors looking for new baby cuddles had stopped and suddenly I was faced with two miniature people moving (fast) in opposite directions. Then the food, oh geez, the food. I felt like I spent a year crawling around on the floor cleaning up highchair debris. Oh course, it was full of happiness too. I’d managed to keep two babies happy and okay for almost a year, which basically made me a genius. Ha! I look back on that time as a bit of a blur. Now, for friend’s who have new babies, that’s the time I try and rally around. I appear with food parcels and gin in a tin and say, I know, this bit is hard and lonely, but you’re doing a grand job and you’ll get through it. Watch the recipe:
Fish pie takes me instantly back to that time. I used to make it every single week as it seemed to be one of the only dishes that was always a win with those babies of mine and was also a comforting supper for us too. This version is made with sweet potato on top for added health benefits. Why didn’t I think of that for a bit of variety during those weaning years?! This also freezes well, unbaked, for pulling out of the freezer on a cold night night when you need some cosy food. For now, I will always eat this and remember those early years of tiny babies and be grateful that the floor is a little less mucky these days. Which food takes you back to another moment in time..?
