Anyone who believes that salmon and cheese do not go together may help themselves to experience, shall we say, a bite of life beyond their perhaps 'small backyard'. <br />Do not mistake Miss Lee's recipes for poor. <br />Her style of cooking is meant to save time, but by no means does she pair foods incorrectly. <br />Also, a tip for those bitter reviewers; <br />Follow the golden rule and try to find kinder words. <br />You would come across as a much nicer person. <br />
