Winter Vegetable Soup
This is a really child friendly recipe – my three kids always love when I make it. It’s cheap, quick and easy – the only equipment you need is a stick blender or jug blender to make it nice and smooth. I make a few different combinations of vegetable soup but this is one I […]
Chickpea & Veggie Burgers
So, many of you have asked me to share this recipe with you. First off, I’d like to clarify that I’m not a chef by any stretch of the imagination, but I do love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. I love trying new things and creating healthy meals (and not so healthy ones!) for […]
Avocado, tomato and basil salad
This is so quick, easy and makes a delicious summers day lunch. I was very lucky enough to get hold of some broad bean leaves at the market in Skibbereen at the weekend, which have a superb flavour but are very hard to come by. This would work just as well with rocket, or a baby […]
Roasted Vegetables & Giant Couscous Salad
Giant couscous comes from Israel and became popular in the 1950s when there was a shortage of rice. You’ll find it in some supermarkets and health food stores, if you can’t find it use regular couscous instead which can be found in any supermarket. Follow the instructions on the packet then follow the recipe from […]
Pork Kebab & Apple Infused Salad
These pork kebabs are very lean and tender. The spice goes so well with the cool crisp salad. You can change the pork to chicken if you prefer. Or use grilled vegetables if you want to go vegetarian.
Poached Pear & Blue Cheese Salad
Anyone who knows me knows I’m cheese mad. I love all kinds, especially the amazing selection we have here in Ireland. Cashel Blue is one of my favourite blue cheeses. The combination of flavours here match so well they have to be tried to be believed. This will make a fantastic snack with a good […]
Prawn Cocktail
Prawn cocktail is another classic salad that is really easy to throw together. It’s one you don’t see so often anymore which is such a shame as when made properly it is a great salad or starter. You can use the really small prawns which are called Boston prawns or a bigger prawn like a […]
Chinese Salad & BBQ Pork Belly
Out of all the salads I made for this website over the past couple of weeks this was everyone’s favourite. In fact, some said it was the best dish I have ever made for them. I tend to agree, it’s delicious. It takes a bit of effort and time but it’s well worth it. Change […]
Monkfish Cheeks, Spinach, Tomatoes & Bacon Lardons (gf)
THIS fantastic fish normally costs a fortune so is out of a lot of people price range, however Monkfish Cheeks are a lot cheaper and in mine and many chefs opinions they are way nicer. Ask your fishmonger if they have them, if not then ask them to order them in for you. There is a […]
Tandoori Chicken Salad
I don’t post many salad recipes as I live alone and I’m not a big fan of salads so most would go to waste if I were to make them. This one is different, it is so so tasty and healthy which is great. I made a lovely mint and Greek yoghurt dressing to go […]
