Love At First Bite

Worth Sinking Your Teeth into, Audio review by Ian Shanley of the Winnipeg Sun

Harry's Famous Fish Fry, excerpt from Love at First Bite

Harry’s Famous Fish Fry

4 cups cooked rice
About 2 pounds fresh fish fillets, such as filet of sole, whitefish, or salmon filets
3 or 4 green onions, sliced, including green parts
5 to 7 fresh mushrooms
2 medium zucchini
¼ cup of Lemon juice
2 cups sauce, cooled slightly
Parchment paper or aluminum foil

Harry’s Secret Sauce
1 (14.5-ounce) can chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup cornstarch, mixed with 1/4 cup cold water
2 tablespoon grated Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

HARD

Directions: In a medium-sized saucepan, heat chicken broth and wine over high heat, stirring in approximately half of the cornstarch mixture. While continuing to stir, cook the mixture until it thickens; reduce heat to low and then add the seasonings. Let cool slightly before assembling the fish packets.

The assembly of the packets starts with four 18- by 15-inch sheets of parchment (or aluminum foil). Fold each sheet in half to make 9- by 15-inch pouch. Place one-fourth of each of the ingredients—rice, green onion, mushrooms, fish, other veggies, lemon juice, and Harry’s secret sauce—into each pouch. Seal and place packets on a baking sheet in a 425° oven for 20 minutes.

Twilight Teen and Author Siobhan Marsh

Hi, I really enjoyed talking with you at Borders. I already read both your books, and can't wait to make the squash and tomato parmesan as soon as our backyard garden matures! I also appreciated that you had a vegetarian version of the enchiladas. (real vegetarian, not Cullen vegetarian, lol)
I was telling you a bit about how I'm an aspiring writer, too. My first real job is adapting a children's book into a play. I think the hardest part is that it's a Christmas book, and I'm writing it over the summer. Of course, I was thrilled to be approached by the author, and I'm grateful for the work.
Other than that, I've been writing screenplays. This August, I'm going to the Willamette Writer's Conference in Portland, Oregon, where I'll be pitching my work.
Do you have any advice for someone like me, who's just starting out as a writer? I'd appreciate any knowledge you have to share!
Thanks,
Siobhan Marsh
