Chilli Tuna Cakes
"I made this up one day when I wanted tuna but was too lazy to cook properly. It used what I had in the house and tasted so good there's always some in the freezer (for extra lazy days). They can be eaten hot or cold. I usually serve them with a chilli sauce or chutney.
They're also low in fat."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm originally from Aberdeen, Scotland. My mother hated cooking, but has always loved baking, so I learned how to do that at an early age. I cooked for myself when I left home, but the really big change came two years ago when I had more time on my hands. Now I live to cook.
I have about a dozen favourite recipes I rotate, but most nights it's a new recipe I'm trying out. I love spicy food, especially Indian.
I'm intensly interested in the technicalities of cooking and am always looking to pick up tips on how to do things better.
