Minestrone Soup

If your childhood was anything like mine, growing up in Ireland Minestrone Soup was something that came in powdered form in a box with some questionable looking dehydrated veg. Nevertheless, I loved it.

Roast Aubergine with Tahini

This post for Roast Aubergine with Tahini may sound dull but there is also harissa, red pepper, feta cheese and pomegranate piled on there. 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 […]

Christmas Chutney

There, I’ve said it… I’ve dropped the C word! If there is any bit of a Grinch about you, you might want to avoid this little bit of the internet for the next few weeks. I have plenty more festive recipes coming up.

Beetroot Relish

This recipe is not going to be for everyone. I’ve discovered that people really have a love/hate relationship with beetroot. I love it, himself can occasionally tolerate it.

Feta and Pomegranate Salad

I hope everyone reading this has had as nice a Christmas as I did!

Beef Chilli

Being a big fan of Mexican food, I love a big bowl of chilli on a cold night. This can be vegetarian or meat but nothing beats a good beef chilli.

Tomato Relish

Is this relish or chutney? Whatever you’re having yourself! I love relish but it is expensive to buy a really good one so I thought it can’t be that hard to make my own.

Eggs Benedict

Eggs Benedict is such an indulgent weekend treat, perfect for a lazy brunch. And treat is the important word, you can’t eat this kind of food everyday! The dish is made up of a toasted buttery breakfast muffin topped with ham or bacon, a perfectly soft poached egg and covered by a buttery hollandaise sauce.
