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.

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.
Thai Fried Rice
My first post of 2017! I hope you all had a lovely time over the Christmas holidays. I know I did. Plenty of time to unwind, switch off and eat and drink far too much. I was a little unwell for a few days – nothing to do with overindulgence – and that’s where this […]
The Big Fat Christmas Post 2016!

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.

Cranberry and Port Sauce
Cranberry sauce just screams Christmas to me. I don’t even eat turkey (it’s flavourless dry meat!) but I love spooning some of this delicious sauce on my ham. Homemade cranberry sauce is even better, trust me.
Pear and Chocolate Cake

Sweet Chilli Bourbon Cocktail Sausages
It’s a very quick and easy recipe today! Food snobs might turn their noses up at a humble cocktail sausage but I have yet to see any leftover at a party I’ve been to. They seem to be the ultimate crowd pleaser.
