I wouldn’t call this a recipe as such, more like just a suggestion of what to do with a sweet potato you may happen to find floating around in your fridge. Simply peel it, chopping it into thin slices before frying it in olive oil with some chilli powder, dried oregano and salt and pepper. […]
I can’t get enough of these fully loaded salad plates that I’ve been making for Corks and me lately. Making, more like totally devouring, I should say. Apart from having plenty of roast veggies, they’re jam packed full of fresh salad ingredients and either tinned salmon or tuna, boiled eggs, crispy lentils or tofu. Brown […]
My girls have informed me that it’s only 37 days till Christmas. So what better time to start thinking about what you’ll be eating, cooking and taking along to your gatherings this year. It’s a good idea to be organised in advance – get in first when the whatsapp message comes through, everyone delegating among […]
What do you usually cook on the barbie? Snags? Rissoles? A piece of steak? Occasionally we’ll do a butterflied leg of lamb or I’ll make my own kebabs. I’ve recently stumbled across this Greek marinated chicken recipe though. It’s seriously the easiest thing in the world to make and will be on rotation in our […]
I’ve been making so much homemade hummus lately. I honestly cannot get enough. Made using tinned chickpeas, it’s incredibly easy to make, so filling, nutritious and not to mention, delicious. I serve it alongside roasted veggies and quinoa on my fully loaded salad plates for lunch but it makes for the perfect dip when entertaining. […]
If anyone asked me what my favourite food was I’d have to say, bread. A ridiculously fresh, well made French baguette – crunchy on the outside and super soft on the inside, eaten whilst still warm. Is there anything better? Talk about one of life’s simplest pleasures. Now turn your attention away from that delicious […]
One can only cook spaghetti bolognese so many times. So here’s another way with mince. My girls love these easy and delicious beef kofta’s for something a little different. Anything on a stick seems to be a hit in our house at the moment (thinking back to our honey soy chicken kebabs and Teriyaki salmon […]
I’ve been making this simple chicken dish for my girls for years but have never thought about sharing the recipe – it’s so simple that it doesn’t really need one. You’ll notice that I don’t put exact amounts of ingredients for the sauce – it’s “a bit of this”, “bit of that” kind of number. […]
Yikes. Where do I start? I want to open a little Middle Eastern roadside stall. I’ll set up my giant paella pan and’ll stand there cooking perfectly fresh flatbreads made to order before smothering a generous blob of garlic-y hummus on top and then piling it up high with this sweet, sticky and salty grilled […]
Popular food blogger, Lo Corcoran of Lo’s Kitchen shares what her family will be eating this Christmas whilst convincing us that delegation is the key to a well planned Chrissie. A friend is getting their family Christmas catered for. Apparently to stop the complaints from those slaving away over a hot stove. Other mates hosting […]
