Beautiful taste but needs just a little bit more liquid as it’s quite dry.

Can you freeze this? And can you use creme fraiche?
Kirsty SandersonTuesday 31st July 2018
I’m sorry if this is a stupid question (I’m a rookie!) but do you cook the salmon first?
MintwasabeFriday 16th March 2018
Can you use quark instead of the cream cheese, or will it not have the correct consistency/creaminess?
AneeshaThursday 11th January 2018
Can the cheese count as a health extra a? Thank you 🙂
