Lunch
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
Spud Sunday: Still Full And Plenty
Potato drop scones – fat little pancakes, really – a recipe from my mother’s 50-year old copy of Maura Laverty’s Irish classic, Full and Plenty – a book still worth reading today
A Little Bit O’ Bento
A bento-making challenge results in a summer salad bento featuring easily made (and quickly eaten) egg and smoked salmon rolls
Spud Sunday: Knocking On Mayo’s Door
A visit to the Mayo Alive festival leads to my first encounter with Mayo boxty. A recipe for same ensued.
Spud Sunday: A Taste of June
Can I tempt you with some patatas bravas, inspired by the upcoming Campo Viejo Tapas Trail, or perhaps some free Taste of Dublin tickets & a case of Carmen Carmenere instead?
