This recipe was sent in by Sandra Valenzuela from Chile
I was living in Winchester last year. There, I cooked this seafood recipe, very typical in my country... a total success between my friends. It is very easy to prepare. Instead of fish you can use crabs, prawns, shrimps or replace the seafood with mushrooms.

I live in Italy and Italian food is excellent..but they don't like trying new things. Cheese and fish sounds strange to them..."Don't knock it until you have tried it"

Like Luciano from Italy I can't imagine the mixture of cheese, fish, pepper, chilli powder and cream. I prefer fish cooked in a simple way in order to taste the...sea in it. It's a matter of taste, of course. Bye!

Luciano, Italy
It is matter of philosophy: in Naples we respect the seafood or fish characteristics and our cuisine is intended to exalt these ones. So, I remain perplex imagining their marriage with the Cheddar. However, a good philosophy should be ready to change.
