Mediterranean Pasta Salad

Two posts in one week! Don’t worry, I don’t plan to make a habit of this. I just wanted to post this before the Bank Holiday weekend in case anyone is planning a barbecue. This would be a great salad to serve with it. Let’s face it, people expect more than burnt burgers and sausages […]

Melon Tomato and Feta Salad

I’ve been waiting a long time to post this recipe for Melon Tomato and Feta Salad. I had a similar salad last year in London and have had it in my drafts ever since. It’s not something you post in December so now that there’s a hint of Summer in the air I’m going with […]

Beetroot Feta and Chickpea Salad

You’re getting a healthier than usual recipe from me for this post. Well you surely don’t think I eat deep fried cheese and cream everyday now, do you?

It is one that I have had in my drafts folder for quite some time. A discussion with my friend Fionnula recently about vegetarian meals prompted me to make it again […]

Courgette and Sweetcorn Fritters

As I didn’t get around to posting last week, this week you are getting two posts. You lucky things! Regular readers of this blog know how much I love a special weekend breakfast. I recently had brunch with a friend and decided to go for a change from the usual avocado on toast. So I […]

Broccoli and Feta Salad

There is a famous recipe for Broccoli and Feta Salad in the Avoca Cafe Cookbook by Hugo Arnold. I have made it several times and it is really good, but as per usual I cannot leave well enough alone and have to add other bits and bobs to it. 

Grilled Peach Cherry and Goats’ Cheese Salad

I have been gorging on cherries quite a bit lately. Rather than just eating them straight from the bag I have been trying to use them in more imaginative ways.  Grilled peaches are one of life’s greatest treats. So this Grilled Peach, Cherry and Goats’ Cheese Salad was born! It is utterly delicious, perfect while […]
