GLEN'S SEAFOOD IN FILO BASKETS (LOW FAT)
I sometimes used white fish or mixed seafood (calamari, prawns, scallops and fish) to make up 250g. Refrigerated Filo pastry is easier to handle than frozen. I adapted this from recipes in Annette Sym's cookbook "Symply Too Good to be True".

SEAFOOD FILO PIE
I found this in a older copy of the magazine Austrlian Table. I reckon it would be a good way to use the enless supply of seafood we seem to catch. I love working with filo and I love fish pies, so I figure what's not to love about this! Aus tablespoons contain 4 teaspoons.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla and beat with a mixer till creamy smooth.
- Brush the bottom of a 10x14x2 inch baking pan or dish with the butter. Have ready the filo sheets, keeping them covered with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out. Lay a filo sheet in the bottom of the pan and brush with butter. Repeat, brushing with butter, 5 more times.
- Pour the filling mixture over the stacked and buttered filo sheets. Drizzle the filling with a little melted butter, then layer 5 more filo sheets on top, again brushing each sheet.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate until the butter firms up. Can be pre-assembled up to this point.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- With a sharp knife, score the surface of the pastry through the top 5 sheets of filo dough into 10 diamonds or rectangles. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer pastry to a rack and let cool for 10 minutes. Cut along the score marks and finish allowing to cool until warm or to room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.

CHICKEN IN FILO BASKETS (LOW FAT)
This was adapted from a couple of recipes in cookbook, Symply Too Good to be True by Annette Syms. The refrigerated Filo is easier to use, I find the frozen very hard to handle. I always serve this with steamed rice.
