Best Black Bean Burger Recipe by Amelia Freer

This is definitely the best bean burger recipe I have made and I’ve made a lot! The recipe was inspired by a wonderful bean burger on Sally’s Baking Addiction blog, but I’ve reduced the number of ingredients so it’s more likely that you’ll have everything to hand.

Quick Fish Pie Recipe by Amelia Freer

This Quick Fish Pie recipe is a great family classic, but when made the traditional way, I find it quite time-consuming to prepare, so it’s not really a viable weekday meal.
