Drizzle with lemon juice.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Sit the terrrines in an oven-proof dish, roasting tin or oven tray.

Stage 9 - 30 min.

Fill the dish with boiling water and cook in the oven for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Useful tip: Stick an electronic thermometer in the terrine. It will be cooked when the centre reaches

140°F (60°C).

Stage 10 - 20 min.

Take the terrines out of the oven, remove from the water and transfer to a wire rack.

Leave to cool a little and turn out just before serving.

Stage 11

Serve in thick slices, hot, warm or cold, with a generous slosh of hollandaise sauce.

Remarks

Do be careful in stage 9: it's always tricky putting a dish of boiling water into the oven.

It is worth alternating different fish to give a more sophisticated flavour. In the photos I have used whiting, pollock and red mullet.

You can add the lemon zest as well as the juice to pep up the flavour of the fish.

The hollandaise sauce is just a suggestion; béarnaise sauce will go just as well, so be guided by your own tastes and use whatever sauce you prefer..

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film. Freezes well.

The trick of this recipe is to end up with bananas caramelised on the outside, still firm on the inside, coated with a tasty syrup which is not 95% butter.

Crème brulée

Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version...

Classic italian recipe (the name means "pull me up" or more poetically, "take me up to the sky"). It's similar to a charlotte in its structure: layers of flavoured biscuits between layers of smooth cream.
