We live in Dublin and our favourite things are food and wine.
These are all recipes which we have tried at home and that have worked well. If the recipe doesn’t work out right or if it’s a bit boring we don’t put it up here. The pictures are all our own and show how it turned out for us.
We think recipes should be easy to understand and easy to follow – so we put our own hints and tips in to help make sure things turn out right.
A lot of our recipes are healthy: our motto is healthy during the week and to hell with it at the weekends. That said everything needs to be tasty.
We are both mad into wine and stick all our good value recommendations on here as we know how difficult it can be to find something interesting without breaking the bank.
Jono has his WSET Diploma in wines and spirits and has been working in the wine industry since 2002. Julie is catching up fast and is the process of studying for the WSET Diploma.

Jono & Jules do food & wine 
I love your site – just looking at the pictures has whipped me into a frenzy of food excitement. Is it wrong to have lunch at 11.25am?
Aisling, hope you are not considering having a bottle of wine at at that hour! If you are give me a call! Lol
Fantastic 🙂 Love you guys, nearly as much as the yummy food and luscious wines.

Hello there, just wondering if you have an email contact to send you a request?
Many thanks. Eileen
I have enjoyed myself ….RaeDi
Thanks for the nice comments RaeDI, Jono & Julie.
Hello I have nominated you for ‘The Most Versatile BLogger Award,” I follow so few blogs, and your is one and I enjoy it so much. Thank you….RaeDi
This is not easy for me…
Tikktok has nominated me for this award, The Most Versatile Blogger Award! I do not know whether to thank her or block her. I am not one who likes to receive any type of notice, other than please read my blog and subscribe… it is hard for me to accept this award… if you want to know the truth… I went to one class reunion since I graduated in ???? (I will put it like this it has been a very long time) and the only class reunion I went to was the 25th.
I knew the gal that was putting it all together and she was honored with being picked the speaker. We were good friends in high school and I was invited over one afternoon so we could get caught up on things, it had been quite a while. When she started talking about the little awards for who came the furthest, had changed the most, changed the least… my brain started thinking, yes it does that once in awhile… Please do not let it be me, I knew deep down I probably had come from the most miles away, unless someone was living in Europe or Asia that I was unaware of, but I let her know that to make sure it was not me, I wanted no added attention to myself. I thought there were no possibilities my name would be called for any of the other awards, just for who had traveled the furthest. We talked about that and then I remembered that one of our classmates, became a pilot in the Air Force and had been stationed somewhere in Asia and had just returned stateside and was in Alabama. I said since he just returned and was on his way from just getting to Alabama then he should get it.
That evening sure enough some thought I had came the most miles and my friend brought up our classmate/friend the pilot and that he was just getting in from… and he got the award. To my horror the next award was for who had changed the least, countless voices all called out my name. I looked at my friend up at the podium (pleadingly)she then asked if there any more nominees? To my relief two of my classmates’ names were called… after a few anxious minutes it was decided with applause and my friend named the winner and thank goodness it was not me. All that was said are you sure… We were all I was very sure!
Now back to this award… Since she has done all the backup work and finding out just exactly what this award is or does, I leave that to her! Maybe she would like to write this too! All kidding aside, thank you Tikktok for thinking of me… you should not have!
I need to list 15 blogs I enjoy reading then link them and let them know I have nominated them for this award. I need to list seven things about me; and I need to display the award badge! (HELP)
15 Blogs I Enjoy (not in any order):
1.AnnieEats
2.Cooking in Sens
3.Chica Andaluza
4.tales of ambrosia
5.Jules & Jules do food & wine
6.Camerahols/Food,Photography & France
7.the bountifulplate
8.thefooddoctor

11.A Word from the Bird
12.Mango, Chili and Z
13.mixed gems
14.meanderings minds
15.veggieyarnsandtails
Seven Things About Me:
1.I do not know how to display the award badge!
2.It is hard to make a list when all you have to do is read: JUST ME, which tells you everything!
3.My biggest fear is height, no… maybe mice… or it could be spiders…
4.I do not like frying bacon.
5.I will not swim in water that I cannot see what is swimming with me, but love the beach…
6.Love doing watercolors more than cooking.
7.Love our baby, a pixie bob named Ninnie.
The Versatile Blogger Award:
If you have been nominated by someone and you claim this award by displaying it on your blog, you must meet certain criteria. Here is the list:
1.You must give credit to the person that has nominated you and create a link to their blog in your post, (as I have done in the above paragraph.)
2.You must create a list of 15 blogs that you enjoy most and link to those as well. Then you must go and tell them you have nominated them. That means if you do not have 15, you cannot do this step. If you do not complete this step, then you cannot claim this award.
3.Finally, you must create a list of seven things about yourself.
Thank you Tikktok for nominating me, you are such a darling! Is Cocoa still screeching? ….
Wow! We’re honoured!
It’s a great website, so glad I stumbled across you guys. Allow me to buy you a glass or two next time I am in Dublin!
Cheers, absolutely!
hi Jonathan, v interesting..i will go through all these amazing recipes now..best of luck! any interest in Italian recipes, by the way? 🙂 Giusy
Hi Giusy, glad you like our blog. We love Italian food and wine so there are plenty of recipes, plus I’m sure many more to come. If you’d like to send us your favorite recipe’s we’ll give them a go!!
Hi there just had a little wander through your site. I love food and wine too and exciting foor. Unfortunately my kids don’t [like what I call exciting food] though my little autistic one wouldn’t say no to the wine loll…alas, his wheat free, gluten free, sugar free, additive free, corn free msg free diet for years killed my love for cooking/baking. Perhaps your blog will inspire me…you never know…the kids could get curious! Lovely blog.
Hi Aileen. Hope we manage to inspire some cooking for you and the kids. Thanks for saying hello. Jono & Julie
We’re happy to have found your blog… going to try your recipe for aubergine and lemongrass curry tonight, even though it’s super summery here in Leiden… just can’t resist because it looks so good!
Welcome! Hope you enjoy the curry! J & J
We totally loved the curry – though had to make some late substitutions (low availability of some ingredients). It worked out great though! Thanks a lot.
Ah great! Thanks for letting us know how it turned out. We made a less successful courgette and prawn curry last night. Can’t win them all!
Just stumbled upon your blog. Love your recipes! I want to bookmark every single one! 🙂
That’s nice. Thank you 🙂
The chickpea & tomato salad is divine. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Yay!
Love the site – what cool photography; makes the food really stand out. For days on my own, I’ll definitely try some of your potato recipes. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for the nice comment William. J&J
Lovely blog. Can’t wait to peruse more!
Thank you 🙂
I just made the patatas bravas, sooooo good!!
It’s yum isn’t it? We’ve made them heaps of times now!
Just discovered this blog, you have an amazing selection of vegetarian recipes! I love that the ones you’ve selected use such a variety of ingredients but in most cases wouldn’t take too long to make. You are now bookmarked, thank you both for the great blog!
Hi Lisa. We’re really glad you like it! We’ll keep the veggie recipes coming! J&J
Lovely blog! A great selection of recipes and the stews all look delicious! Going to try out the mushroom risotto this week!
Thanks! Glad you like it. It’s definitely stew-like weather in Ireland at the moment! J&J
[…] *The fab birthday cheese photo is courtesy of the lovely Jono and Jules and their blog filled with scrumptious recipes – check it out here: jonoandjules.com/about/ […]
Just checked out your blog and basically I want to cook everything on it! We have quite similar tastes I think.
I am going to follow you so that I can learn all about wine, instead of just drinking it.
Lindy
Thanks Lindy. Glad you like our blog. J&J
I’m so happy to have come across your blog! I’ve only just scratched the surface, and am looking forward to discovering more of your delicious recipes. This summer my family and I were in Dublin and had a wonderful dinner at L. Mulligan. Grocer, then we were off to Belfast and had great meals at The Merchant and Mourne Seafood Bar. Glad you like them too!
Hi Jean. Glad you’re enjoying our blog and love all the places that we do. We’re just home in Dubin today after a great family Christmas in Belfast. Happy New Year to you and your family. J&J
Alles gute !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(*L*)

Hi Jono – met you this morning at McNally farm where I bought the romenesco and the very odd sprouting/Brussels sprouts 🤪
Welcome Imelda to our blog. It was a pleasure to meet you, I hope my two suggested new ingredients were tasty. Jono
