Here’s a really simple one that I think would suit a beginner. I like to mince my own chicken in the processor but you can purchase it already minced.This recipe should be made with the help of a food processor, it will give you a better finish. At times you can get away without using one but this recipe requires ingredients to be chopped finely to get that smooth texture. If you dont have a processor look at investing in one. They all do the same thing and they range in price but you can’t be without one in the kitchen.

Eat it or Starve!?? Everyone loves a good loaf! This one is unusual with the introduction of fruit and nuts. Loved it!

Thank you to Rebecca Hann for her wonderful homemade apricot chutney, it was absolutely delicious and perfect for this recipe!
