Lunch
Spud Sunday: Boozy Spuds
Potatoes cooked with leeks and white wine – just the thing to give January a little boost
Spud Sunday: Spuds On The Menu
An all-potato menu for lunch? With leek and potato soup, gnocchi and chocolate potato cake on offer at The Clarence Tea Room, I’d have to say I don’t mind if I do.
Spud Sunday: A Resolutionary Soup
A simple white winter vegetable soup with potatoes, celeriac, cauliflower and roasted garlic – just the recipe for this time of year
Spud Sunday: Food, The West Cork Way
As part of the new West Cork Food initiative, I got to fillet & smoke fish with the fabulous Sally Barnes; back at home, I made this potato and lentil stew to go with it
Spud Sunday: Meet The Peppers
Roasted potatoes with a bit of middle eastern flavour, adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi’s recipe for batata harra
Paint Me A Pizza
A pizza makeover with a bit of Irish flavour, featuring four Irish cheeses, potato, leek and turnip no less.
Spud Sunday: Waste Watching
The Four Pounds of Cheese Project has not only inspired me to look anew at my food waste but also lead to this savoury pie filled with cheese & cauliflower and with a potato & onion crust. That’s what I’d call a result.
Make Food, Not Excuses
A summer vegetable tian – otherwise known as a quiche in search of a crust – with slow-roasted herby tomatoes and courgettes – ’tis the Mediterranean on a plate
