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 […]

Deep Fried Brie with Raspberry Sauce

I know Brie parcels and fried Camembert have been done to death and are considered to be ‘old school’ but sometimes there’s nothing more comforting than cutting into a crispy parcel to find the soft cheese oozing out. Honestly, I actually restrain myself when it comes to cheese posts, I could put one up every […]

Mac and Cheese

With bacon. I probably should have stressed this in the title but anywho, this is Mac and Cheese with bacon. Some versions of this dish are quite dry but mine is probably more Mac with Cheese Sauce. I know some people like to keep their Mac and Cheese as plain as possible, I’m not one […]

Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy

I was saving this recipe until later in the year to post but there’s a right bang of Autumn in the air these evenings. There will be plenty of curries, soups and stews in my near future. And apple and blackberry desserts. I’m starting to turn to comfort food already and this Bangers and Mash with […]

Caramelised Onion Tarte Tatin

Today I’m back to work after two weeks off. I’m not as blue about it as you might think, I feel like I’ve had a proper break. I also gave myself a break from the blog and social media in general, just dipping in and out the odd time. I’d highly recommend it. You might […]

Prosciutto, Pear and Blue Cheese on Toast

I hadn’t planned on doing a “Things on Toast” recipe again so soon. However, I have had this post for Prosciutto, Pear and Blue Cheese on Toast in my drafts for some time and last week I was involved in the National Dairy Council’s Cheese up Your Life competition and had to post it then. You’d think I’d […]

Chicken Chasseur

The meat we eat most often here is chicken, which is probably already very obvious. And as I have said before I find it quite boring so I usually whack a load of huge flavours and spice on it to make it interesting. However, there is something very comforting about the subtle flavours of Chicken Chasseur served […]

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.
