Fish casserole is a great everyday dish. Usually you have the ingredients at home, and it takes less than 20 minutes to make it. The sauce is based on creme fraiche, which you can easily make yourself. I buy frozen cod and let it thaw a bit before cooking it. The caviar really adds flavor and adds a touch of class to an otherwise ordinary meal.
Creme Fraiche is a soured cream made by souring thick cream with a bacterial culture, typically from yoghurt. It is very easy to make, and could be handy if you want to make larger batches, or different fat content from the store bought Creme Fraiche.

A BBQ Fatty is an American classic. A fatty is a minced meat sausage with some kind of filling that you smoke on your grill. The meat is usually ground beef or pork sausage. The filling is often cream cheese, grilled fresh chili pepper, grated cheddar cheese and other stuff. There are as many fillings as there are pit masters. Here we make one from ground (fallow) deer, since that was what I had in my freezer.
