I can’t think of many recipes I make that don’t call for “browning an onion”. Isn’t ‘the onion’ just the absolute king of flavour? If we run out of onions in our house, we’re in trouble. I panic in the same way I would if we ran out of toilet paper or milk (or chocolate). […]
One of the things I love most about our annual family holiday to Mollymook is the fresh seafood at our fingertips. The days are spent at the beach with most evenings being happily spent in the kitchen. We feast on prawns and oysters down at Ulladulla wharf, eat lots of fresh fish (my favourite being […]
I think it’s safe to say that this is up there with one of my favourite recipes on the blog; salmon and potato tray bake with my cheat’s aioli. It’s simply exquisite. Healthy and fresh but somehow extremely comforting and a little bit sophisticated, it’s perfect for the home-cook as there’s no fuss involved, limited […]
I love Japanese food. I’ve never been to Japan but have always wanted to go. There’s been some talk about Cork Daddy and I going over to the Rugby World Cup in October next year. Well that’s not entirely true. There’s been some talk of Cork Daddy going to the Rugby World Cup in Japan […]
Of course you’re allowed to disagree with me, but I don’t think there is anything daggy about tinned salmon. I love it. Not used as much as it should, you don’t see many recipes cutting round using this tinned fish anymore. I’ve grown up eating salmon rissoles a lot and enjoy making this delicious salmon pate. […]
One word for you. Flavour. When Jamie Oliver wrote his ‘5 Ingredient’ cookbook, in my heart I know why he wrote it. Not to ditch the Ottolenghi’s of the world, instead to say that food doesn’t need to be complicated and time consuming to be ‘oh so right’. Cork Daddy’s at rugby training and I HAD […]
Origin night. Game 3. 7 kids under 4 tearing round the house while us adults try and sneak in a couple of drinks before the wheels fall off and it’s home to bed for the littlies. The perfect way to end the weekend. I made homemade burgers and chips for a cas’ ‘stand around the […]
I’ve given myself an unofficial mystery box challenge it seems like. A good friend of mine gave me a huge pile of oranges from her abundant tree and a pumpkin so big that I was determined to come up with a dish that used both ingredients. A fan of Masterchef over the past decade, I love […]
My grandma, Mim makes the most delicious salmon rissoles and has taught me the tricks of the trade. Growing up, we’d often have them for dinner at the farm served with mashed potato and would eat the cold leftovers for lunch the next day, on an Arnott’s sesame wheat biscuit. I’m going to share some […]
