Dear Joey, Now although I do not consider there to be anything desperately 'simple' about this receipt [at least not for total non cooks such as myself], I am too tempted to ignore it and shall, first thing on Monday morning, repair to the market to procure all of the ingredients which I shall then use exactly as you suggest. As it happens, I am very fond of fish, as I am of the work of David Hockney!
