But since I am addicted to cooking programs on the telly and reading recipes in mags and online there is always inspiration to be found.<\/p>\n<p>I love quick and easy recipes with a minimal list of ingredients. Ideally, stuff that I already have stocked in the fridge or freezer.<\/p>\n<p>One of those easy and quick to make recipes is the one for &#8220;salmon sweet potato fishcakes. They are beyond delishious! I highly recommend them.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t you worry if you have lots left over: you can eat them cold too. I personally prefer to make more when it comes to these fishcakes. Just like the other day when I made loads and thought <em>&#8220;Oh good, that&#8217;s tonight&#8217;s dinner and tomorrow&#8217;s lunch sorted!&#8221;<\/em> Ha, they never saw the light of the next day&#8230;Yes, they are THAT good.
