1 oz plain flour
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika powder
1 onion
1 oz butter
15 fl oz milk
4 oz white grapes
4 tablespoons apple puree
5 fl oz soured cream
Method:

1!. Chop the onion into small pieces!.
2!. Mix together the flour, paprika and cayenne pepper!. Coat the chicken pieces in flour/pepper mixture and shake off any excess!.
3!. Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the coated chicken pieces and onion for 4 or 5 minutes!.
4!. Keep heating and stir in any unused flour/pepper mixture!. Slowly pour in the milk and stir until the mixture thickens and becomes like a sauce!.
5!. Simmer the chicken and sauce until the sauce is smooth in texture!.
6!. Add the apple puree and the grapes and simmer for about 20 minutes!.
7!. Remove from the heat!. Put the chicken into a pre-heated serving dish (or onto warm plates), pour over any remaining sauce!. Top with soured cream and a tiny sprinkle of paprika (for colour)!.

FISH 'N' CHIPS-
Ingredients:
4 large pieces of cod (or haddock)
1kg or 2? lbs potatoes
Sunflower seed oil
Salt and fine white pepper to taste!.

For the batter:
200g or 7 oz of plain flour
1 large egg
150ml or 5 fl oz of water and milk mixed (making 5fl oz total)
White pepper to taste

Method:
1!. Peel the potatoes and cut them into chips!. If you are not going to cook them immediately then keep them covered in water to stop them going brown!.
2!. Start to make the batter mixture by putting the flour into a large bowl!.
3!. Whisk the egg and add (if you want) a maximum of 2 tablespoons of dark beer or 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce!.
4!. Now pour the whisked egg into the flour adding the milk/water mixture and beat until smooth!. Leave this to stand for an hour!.
5!. Heat a deep pan, filled with enough oil to cover the chips, until it is hot!. (If you drop in a tiny piece of potato and it immediately starts to fizzle then the oil is hot enough)!.
6!. Heat a second pan of oil just deep enough to cover the fish!.
7!. Individually put each fish fillet into the batter!. Slide the fish back and forth to cover with batter and lift out and allow to drip for a second or two then repeat!. This makes sure the fish is completely covered in batter!.
8!. Lower a battered fish into the hot oil skin side to the bottom of the pan to stop the fillet curling as it heats!. Now cook, one fillet at a time!. After 5 minutes turn the fish over and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes!.
9!. Repeat with the second fillet, keeping the first cooked fillet warm in an oven!.
10!. Now put the chips in the pan to cook!. Take care as the oil might froth as the wet chips go in!. This is quite normal but be careful you do not burn yourself!.
11!. Carry on cooking the other two fillets and put them in the oven to keep warm!.
12!. Lift out the chips when they reach a nice golden brown colour and are cooked!. Use a mesh spoon or similar to lift the chips out, letting the oil drip back into the pan!.

Serve on plates (or newspapers) with the fish nestling on a bed of chips!. Vinegar, salt and tomato sauce (ketchup) should be available
