Smoked Haddock Chowder

Today's the day ..................….. to cook

Does anyone remember 'The Cooking Canon'?

He was a proper Anglican Priest - real name the Rev. John Eley - and he used to appear at lunchtime on the BBC Television series, Pebble Mill at One  back in the 1980s.  He was a very good, down-to-earth cook - and he used to show you how to make something that you felt sure you could manage.  But his recipes were always interesting and a bit out of the ordinary.  Sometimes he would be joined by another good cook - Rabbi Lionel Blue - and the banter between them was very entertaining.  They were a bit like a forerunner of the 'Hairy Bikers'.

Anyway, when I was in the supermarket today, looking for inspiration for tonight's supper - I saw some Smoked Haddock which was on special offer.  That instantly made me think of The Cooking Canon's recipe for Smoked Haddock Chowder. 

I looked out my ancient cookery book 'The Cooking Canon Entertains' -  and the rest, as they say, is history …………………….
