This is our classic party dish – so popular that we have to fight to get a taste when we serve it in a buffet! We’ve just made it this weekend for our friends Nicola and Dave’s housewarming. Just to make sure we got some ourselves we made a little extra for the next day. [...]

This caprese salad is made from all Irish ingredients – even the mozzarella (fellow Dubliners can pick some up in Fallon & Byrne). Perfect for what will probably be one of our last sunny lunches for this year. Caprese di Mozzarella – serves 2 mozzarella cheese 2-3 tomatoes, sliced basil leaves olive oil salt Drain [...]

Otherwise known as “Jamie’s Pasta Bake”; a simple, tasty dish that is easily doubled (or more) for parties. We made this after a day of travel from a family wedding in the south of France along with Roasted Garlic Toasts. Delicious hot for dinner and also cold the next day for lunch. The recipe suggests using [...]
Superhealthy Chicken Bake

Until very recently we had terrible trouble finding skinless, boneless chicken thighs but lately we’ve got them in M&S, Tesco and Sainsbury’s. They are really cheap and much tastier than chicken breasts that can dry out easily. We now have a freezer full of them (just in case they become illusive again) so expect plenty [...]

We came across this while searching for inspiration on how to use some courgettes and feta cheese that had been lurking in the fridge since the weekend. It was really tasty, very quick and cheap to make (even if you don’t happen to have any courgettes and feta in the fridge). All we had to [...]
White Beans with Tomatoes and Garlic

This takes no time at all and is a really wholesome weeknight side dish. We paired it with barbecued chipolata sausages and sautéed savoy cabbage and it really hit the spot. Serves 6 (officially: though we had a portion each for dinner and then a little each for lunch the next day with slices of [...]
Sunday Brunch

Not very seasonal we know but a little taste of sunshine to brighten our mood on a frosty Sunday morning. Cherry tomatoes are still nice and sweet all year (even if you do have to get them from somewhere sunnier than Ireland in December). This is a nice idea from Ursula Ferrigno. Roasted Cherry Tomatoes [...]

WOO-HA! This is a fandabidozi soup! Jono and me sold lots of wine today and got home late. If I’d have had my way we would have stopped in the pub for grub on the way home. I’m so glad he persuaded me to stick with the plan for Vietnamese soup. If you like prawns [...]
