Pea and Broccoli Soup

Nigella has a recipe in Simply Nigella for a nice Pea and Broccoli Soup. It looks very fresh and very healthy. This recipe is not quite as healthy. It’s not bad for you or anything, I’ve just used stock and a little dairy. And then I stuck cheesy croutons on top.

Indian Roast Chicken

  I should probably come up with a more interesting name than Indian Roast Chicken for this dish. But to be honest, that is exactly what it is. I could call it tandoori but that would be incorrect so let’s not try to dress it up too much.

Cuban Mojo Beef Salad

I first had Mojo Beef Salad some time ago in Electric bar. It was so tasty. Recently I have been looking for different ways to prepare steak dinners so I pottered around the internet for a while and decided to try my own version of Mojo Beef Salad. And here it is!

Crab and Avocado Toasts

These Crab and Avocado Toasts are a real treat. You can call them crostinis if you really want to impress! They are so easy to make especially when you buy cooked crab meat like I do. Someday I’ll tackle cooking crab but not just yet.

Creamy Potato Salad with Chorizo

I’ve been meaning to share this recipe for Creamy Potato Salad with Chorizo for some time now. I thought with the Bank Holiday approaching, you might be looking for ideas for food to make for a barbecue and this is the perfect side.

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. 

Parmentier Potatoes

Contrary to what you might think from reading this blog, I don’t cook potatoes all that often. Maybe once a fortnight. That’s very little for an Irish household!

Warm Black Pudding and Apple Salad

Black Pudding, eh? You either love it or hate it. I adore it! There is just something really moreish about it. I have made many versions of black pudding salad but this Warm Black Pudding and Apple Salad is without a doubt my favourite.
