Cheese Courgette and Spinach Filo Pie

I’ve been intrigued by Greek Spanakopita for a long time. Well, any excuse to eat more cheese! I’ve never loved any of the versions that I’ve tried though. I then saw Georgina Hayden make this Cheese Courgette and Honey Pie on Saturday Kitchen and I thought it looked delicious. I’ve been playing around with variations since […]

Coconut and Lime Pulled Chicken with Kimchi Style Slaw

Now there’s a mouthful of a recipe title for you. I have been meaning to post this recipe for Coconut and Lime Pulled Chicken with Kimchi Style Slaw for quite a while now. In fact, ever since I discovered The Reckless Chef in the West Waterford Festival of Food last year. We were strolling among the […]

Pea Courgette and Fennel Salad

I know it’s still March, I know this is more of a Summer dish so those who cook only with seasonal produce should look away now. I have been cooking with courgettes a lot lately. Given the strange times we are currently living in I find it easy to turn to familiar comfort food. However […]

Cauliflower and Giant Couscous Salad

Mushrooms on Toast

Two blog posts in one week – you lucky things! It’s more beige food but trust me beige can be utterly delicious. And yes, I really am posting a recipe for Mushrooms on Toast.

Smoked Paprika Chicken Salad

I’m not one for dry January or any of that clean eating craic, but even I crave a lighter dinner once in a while. One of my favourite salads to make midweek is my Warm Chicken and Bacon Salad. Let’s face it though, there is nothing light about it.
