"I named this dish after my home town, Scarborough, in the North of England - and yes, they really do have a "Scarborough Fayre" every year!

"Delightful and EASY little smoked salmon and cucumber appetisers, and healthy too, with NO pastry! These are a breeze to make but they tick all the taste boxes, as well as being elegant. Cucumbers do vary in size, and I have suggested a medium cucumber, which is about 10" to 12" long.........however, any size will do!! Adjust the crème..."

"This recipe was devised when I found that the mushroom stalks from some fairly hefty sized Portobello Mushrooms, would just not fit into the stuffing mixture, even though they were finely diced! So, I made "chimney stacks" from the offending stalks and served them as a starter at dinner for some friends, who LOVED them! They would also be..."

"A really yummy and different dish to WOW your guests. It does use a lot of balsamic vinegar. You can use the best you can afford but I have found it comes out equally well with the 'bargain' balsamic! Created by Texas chef Grady Spears and featured in the November 1998 issue of Texas Monthly."
