Celeriac and Pear Soup

It’s officially soup weather again. And with that storm raging outside it seems like the perfect time to share my recipe for this Celeriac and Pear Soup.

Prosciutto, Pear and Blue Cheese on Toast

I hadn’t planned on doing a “Things on Toast” recipe again so soon. However, I have had this post for Prosciutto, Pear and Blue Cheese on Toast in my drafts for some time and last week I was involved in the National Dairy Council’s Cheese up Your Life competition and had to post it then. You’d think I’d […]

Cauliflower Cheese

Cauliflower Cheese is quite the classic Winter side dish. I have to be honest, I would gladly eat this as a main meal! Baked caulifower covered in a cheesy bechamel sauce and breadcrumbs, baked again until golden brown. Delicious!

Grilled Peach Cherry and Goats’ Cheese Salad

So this Grilled Peach, Cherry and Goats’ Cheese Salad was born! It is utterly delicious, perfect while […]

Blue Cheese Panna Cotta with Spiced Poached Pear

This post is a long time in the works. I had a dish very similar to this last year in the Tannery as a starter and couldn’t wait to try to recreate it. It is quite festive in flavours so I wanted to wait until near enough to Christmas to post. Unfortunately this means I’m […]

Drunken Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese Dip

Gnocchi with Blue Cheese, Spinach and Pancetta

  This dish is another recipe inspired by lunch at Zamora in Cork. They really do indulge my love of blue cheese!

Warm Beef and Blue Cheese Salad

I can’t wait til there’s a grand stretch in the evenings. Winter light is no friend to food photography, I mean, I struggle at the best of times. So you’ll have to trust me when I say this salad tasted and looked much better than the photo suggests.
