Recipes from my kitchen in Cork, Ireland.
Don't panic! I am here to rescue you from the flood of courgettes filling your garden/farmers market/greengrocer as we speak. These fritters are one of my absolute favourite things to make with courgettes. Delicious straight out of the pan, cold from the fridge, or anywhere in between (I've tried them all). I've served them… Continue reading Courgette Fritters with Tomato Jam
Absolutely not a replacement for the kind served on toast (I like mine with cheese please), but rather its own thing. To be served with slaw, cornbread, corn on the cob, anything you might dry-rub or slather with barbecue sauce... This recipe is very flexible. I call it molasses baked beans, but we make it… Continue reading Molasses Baked Beans
This is something I only started making this year, but it has fast become one of our favourite dinners. Perfect for when you want something really light and fresh, but still filling. If you don't keep a lot of Japanese ingredients at home already, you might find the first time you make this kind of… Continue reading Sushi Bowls
Recipe for sushi rice! Full recipe for my sushi bowls coming tomorrow(find it here), but thought the rice was long-winded enough to deserve it's own post. It's also a great base for anything else you need Japanese-style rice for. We especially like to make onigiri with it. The rice vinegar and sugar are just the… Continue reading Sushi Rice
This crunchy slaw is a delicious accompaniment to all sorts of dishes (like the barbecue chicken seen above), but it's especially brilliant with anything porky (sausages, ribs, a pulled pork sandwich...) It also just so happens to be vegan, gluten-free, and nut free, so you can rest assured that everyone will be able to… Continue reading Red Cabbage and Apple Slaw
Just like the hummus from my last post, this salad seems to find its way onto the table every time we are eating anything Middle-eastern/Mediterranean inspired (think lamb, halloumi, aubergines). Jam-packed with veg, fruit and herbs it adds a lovely fresh flavor to all sorts of dishes. See above for some inspiration on things to… Continue reading Pomegranate and Herb Salad
This is my go-to recipe for hummus, dead simple, and very delicious! If you aren't sure how you like your hummus already, start with small amounts of garlic, tahini, salt, and lemon juice, and add more of whichever you feel it needs until it's right for you. Unless you are eating your hummus immediately, note… Continue reading Hummus
This is one of our favourite breakfast/snack foods, we find it very hard not to eat it all as soon as it comes out of the oven!This is my favourite combination of ingredients, but its very adaptable, so use any dried fruit, nuts or seeds that you enjoy. Also, you can use any combination of… Continue reading Granola
