"I was taught how to cook fish and chips by my mum when I was about 12 years old; we were living in Hong Kong at the time and it was my mum's way of treating us to a little bit of home as a treat!

"These are your standard traditional English roasties. IMO there is an art to making these, at least the perfect golden crispy kind that I grew up with.
