Smoky Aubergine Dip

I know, another aubergine recipe again so quickly. It’s such a versatile vegetable though and I do love it. In the last year on holidays I had an absolutely gorgeous dish of aubergine carpaccio in a restaurant in Ibiza, called Aubergine, funnily enough. If you’re ever there I highly recommend it for a really special […]

Marinated Feta

It’s been over two months since I posted a recipe, I don’t think I’ve ever taken a break this long before. But, you know, life and all that. A few weeks ago I was toying with the idea of signing up to those Masterclass workshops that are heavily promoted at the moment. While looking into […]

Charred Broccoli Caesar Salad

During another day of trying to up my veg intake I remembered a starter dish I had in Dockland in Cork. It was a broccoli Caesar salad with toasted hazelnuts and it was delicious. So when I had a pack of tenderstem broccoli, I decided to be healthy and give it a go. And then […]

Roast Aubergine and Cauliflower Salad

I don’t normally post recipes on a Monday but I did not get a chance to put this up last week. I know what you’re thinking, we are in lockdown, surely I have all the time in the world? Well I suppose that’s true but after a few days with a lot of online work […]

Asparagus Cheese and Ham Tart

We are well into asparagus season now and I was scrolling through these recipes from Ottolenghi for inspiration. I spotted the tart and thought about the tart I like to make myself. It was only then I realised that I have never published it here! The reason for that is probably because it is so […]

Hummus with Spiced Lamb

Hummus with Spiced Lamb is a dish I love to order in Jacques Restaurant from their tapas menu. Granted it has only happened twice, but still, it is good enough that it is the first thing I look for on their menu. It is such a simple idea but packed full of flavour. There is […]

Chicken Shawarma

My love for Middle Eastern food continues to grow. I have Yotam Ottolenghi and Sabrina Ghayour to thank for this. I’ve loved Sabrina’s recipes ever since I first read Persiana when it was published. I’m glad to say that her latest book Feasts is every bit as good. I have been tinkering with a recipe […]

Whole Roast Cauliflower with Spiced Yogurt

  My love for cauliflower knows no bounds. This isn’t me jumping on a bandwagon, I’ve been a big fan for a long time as these previous posts will show. I love roasting cauliflower as it brings out a nutty flavour to the veg. Roasting it whole is even better again, you get more of […]
