This menu is simple and light with just two courses- a fresh salad topped with a fish cake followed by a fluffy, fruity meringue dessert.

Whether for a lovely lunch or a dinner after a big holiday meal, fish cakes are something to cherish.  Poach up some cod or salmon for a dish that will delight all those around your table.  You can also make fish cake slightly smaller (freeze any remaining cakes) and serve as a first course.

Meringues are one of my all time favorite desserts….mostly because they are so light, satisfying and somewhat unusual (outside England).  Store bought meringues work just as well but I would recommend breaking them apart and mixing them with the whipped cream and berries rather than whole, only because store bought tend to be harder and messier to cut up.
