Recipe of the Month - taken from the AGA Living Magazine, more available at http://www.agaliving.co.uk/

Delectable Fish Pie 
“A luxurious version of a classic family favourite, this is good enough to serve to discerning dinner party guests.”

Ingredients
Serves 4-6

•    350g (12 oz) white fish
•    200g (7 oz) salmon
•    200g (7 oz) smoked haddock
•    100g (3½ oz) prawns
•    200g (7 oz) frozen peas
•    Zest and juice of 1 lime
•    Salt and black pepper

Sauce:

•    60g (2¼ oz) butter
•    60g (2¼ oz) flour
•    700ml (1¼ pint) milk
•    Salt and black pepper
•    25g (1 oz) fresh parsley, chopped

Topping:

•    750g (1 lb 10 oz) potatoes, cooked and mashed
•    25g (1 oz) butter
•    3 tbsp cream
•    A grinding of fresh nutmeg
•    Salt, if liked

Method

Cut the white fish, salmon and smoked haddock into 1cm (½ inch) square pieces and place in the base of a large shallow pie dish.
Scatter with the prawns and frozen peas. Sprinkle over the lime zest and juice. Season.

To make the sauce, melt the butter, add the flour and mix together. Whisk in the milk over a low heat and continue whisking until the
sauce has come to the boil and thickened. Season to taste and stir in the chopped parsley. Pour over the fish.

Mash the hot potatoes and add the butter and cream, mix together. Season with nutmeg and a little salt, if liked. Spoon the potatoes
over the fish and smooth over and roughen the surface with a fork or if you prefer pipe the potato over the fish.

2, 3 and 4 oven AGA: Cook on the grid shelf on the floor of the Roasting Oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is beginning to
brown and the sauce is bubbling up the sides of the potato.

Serve with a crunchy salad.

Conventional cooking: Cook at 200°C, (400ºF) fan oven 180°C, Gas Mark 6 for 25-30 minutes until the top is beginning to brown and
the sauce is bubbling up the sides of the potato. Serve hot.

Tip – to steam the potatoes on the Aga, cut the peeled potatoes into chunks and place into cold (salted) water, bring to the boil and
simmer for 5 minutes.  Then drain away the water and transfer the covered saucepan to the Simmering Oven for about 20 minutes until tender.

AGA 6:4

There are so many reasons for choosing a range cooker - particularly an AGA - that it's difficult to pinpoint them all.  There's a permanence and confidence about something so solid and full of character.  It makes a statement, it becomes a focal point for the home and life within it.  There are also plenty of reasons why we call the Six-Four the ultimate range cooker.  Put simply, it's because we think there's no better conventional range cooker on the market.

AGA 4:2

Authentic compact AGA styling with all the features you would expect in a full-sized range cooker and it is only 60cm wide!  The Four-Two has been designed for modern living. Fast, powerful and easy to control, it will fit between standard kitchen units and can be placed almost anywhere in the room.  A timeless design that's all about good food and fine living.

A truly luxurious cooker for the serious cook, or for those who just prefer the finer things in life.  The Masterchef Deluxe is the epitome of understated elegance, perfect for anybody who aspires to owning an AGA but prefers the instant control of a conventional range cooker.

The AGA Masterchef is now available with a high speed ceramic or gas hotplate, together with three ovens and a state of the art ceramic grill.  Nobody understands the perfect blend of form and function better than AGA which is why the AGA Masterchef is built with all the inherent hallmarks of attention to detail, quality and design that can onlybe an AGA.

"Temp Assure" technology prevents food drying out and retains moisture, freshness and food's essential nutrients Frost-free technology prevents the build up of ice and improves the overall efficiency, whilst protecting the flavour and texture of your food

An easy-to-use interactive digital menu - which shows the actual temperature of each compartment - lets you tailor your refrigerator to your way of living.  The energy saving setting can be sused to put it in 'holiday' mode to save you money while you're away, or in 'shopping' mode to target food that's been sitting in the car.

AIMS Explained

When the new 13amp electric AGA has finished producing perfectly cooked, delicious food the traditional AGA way, it takes it easy and goes into slumber mode.Then, when it is time to prepare the next meal, it gears itself up and gets ready tocook precisely when you are.  It's all thanks to AIMS, the AGA Intelligent Management System.  AIMS works by optimizing the use of power.  Which is good news for your electricty bill, and the environment.

AGA Cast Iron Stoves The timeless appeal of a cast-iron stove is hard to beat and the new collection of AGA-made and AGA-branded stoves are as beautiful as they are practical. Every model uses the latest clean-burn technology to maximise the efficient use of energy and minimise the effect on the environment. And each of the stoves in the range is available as a wood-burning/solid fuel stove, which is better for the planet as burning timber from coppiced or managed forests is cost-efficient and helps conserve fossil fuels.  Using a wood burning stove offers a carbon neutral and sustainable heat source – growing trees take in
carbon dioxide which is then released when the wood rots or is burnt.



The Little Wenlock Classic is the perfect blend of old & new, it combines cutting edge design with traditional casting beauty.  Featuring one of the highest effciences in the world and an unbeatable airwash system you are ensured a consistently clear view of the flame. 

A larger stove supplied with a high chrome grate, allowing the use of wood, coal or smokeless fuels, all of which ensure high output and make it ideal for a family home.

A modern rethink of the traditional open grate, the Rembrandt is far more efficient than conventional hearths and can provide a stylishly elegant focus to any contemporary room.

AGA are extremely pleased to announce the launch of our excellent new Pellet Stove!  The new addition to the current range of AGA stoves - The AGA Pellet Stove.

The Much Wenlock Classic is a medium sized solid fuel and wood stove with a nominal heat output of 5.5W (maximum 8.3kW) with 77% efficiency.

 

As one of our larger stoves, the Minsterley is ideal for central heating your home. Its versatility means that it can burn wood, coal, peat briquettes or smokeless fuel. Combining the power and efficiency of its heat output, the Minsterley is a superb choice for the family home

 

Emma Bridgewater

The stunning 3 oven AGA features Emma's signature multi-coloured spots and is a charming addition to the AGA palette.It is available in a 3 Oven AGA only in Gas or 13amp.

AGA Classic Edition

The AGA Classic Special Edition is styled to look just like an AGA would have done in the 1930s. Everythingis almost as it was, from the lever control (non-operating – a modern AGA doesn’t need it) to the matching Enamel Hotplate Covers and the period AGA badge. This special edition model is supplied, as it was in the 1930s, only in cream.  It is available in 2 or 3-oven versions with all of today’s refinements, including a choice of heat sources and flues, a Gas or Ceramic Hob(in place of the 4-oven warming plate)and Integrated and Freestanding Module enhancement.
