Ingredients

Spud Sunday: The Late Edition

Take some boiled potato, mash it, dry the pieces out in the oven until golden and crunchy, et voilà, potato crumbs. Scatter wherever you think crunch, gluten-free or otherwise, is needed.


Take Me To Your Mackerel

It started with tasting lovely Inish Turk Beg smoked fish, it ended with this gingery smoked mackerel pâté and, in between, there was some good, old fashioned nostalgia for the number 10 bus


The Ghost Of Apples Past

Right now, I can think of no better (or easier) dessert than whole baked apples – made even better with apples from my mother’s tree


Spud Sunday: An Edible Irish Epic

Project Food Blog Challenge 3: the luxury dinner party. I’m going with an Irish menu all the way, including (ooh fancy!) a tri-coloured Irish vegetable terrine


Fishful Thinking

A delightful lunch at Bentley’s was the inspiration for this fish pie recipe, filled with salmon, smoked haddock, leeks and (of course) potatoes.


West Cork Story

A visit to Inchydoney Island Lodge and Spa to sample their new West Cork menu? Don’t mind if I do…


Essence Of Ireland

Presented at this year’s Oxford Symposium Banquet: Irish smoked salmon drizzled with Connemara peated single malt whiskey – a real taste of Ireland


Lemon Alert

These days, if something is edible and within range, I’m likely to try adding lemon zest to it. These redcurrant shortbread bars are no exception.
