ANOTHER EASTER CHOC
The chocolate rush at Easter can take other forms and homebaking with chocolate can be just as nice with choux pasry buns or eclairs a real treat.

SPICE AND EASTER
Its all about eggs the next couple of weeks but it was not always about the sweet type so savoury egg dishes should also be a treat.

FLYING THE FLAG
Its an easy way to show the pride in your country by depicting its flag in food and for Ireland salmon and potatoes really suit the part. 🇮🇪☘️

CLOSE TO THE BONE
Cooking any meat or fish on the bone will always bring out more flavour and even the once maligned t-bone steak has an edge over other cuts.

LYON ROARS
Lyon is a city that is king of the culinary jungle and something as simple as potato can become a tasty treat with just one other ingredient.

GREEK WEEK
National dishes can sometimes have a bit of a back story and magnificant moussaka is no greek tragedy as a dish beyond borders.

SHEEP AND EASY
There is no easier meal for feeding a gang than simply sticking a joint in the oven. Leg of lamb is not just for Easter but anytime of year and the meat we produce in Ireland is as good as it gets.

THE VEAL DEAL
One of the most famous classic dishes was veal cordon blue but rarely seen now except made frozen from chicken in the supermarket but nothing beats it made fresh at home.

CLASS OF ITS OWN CHICKEN
Some classic dishes are not to be messed with and coq au vin is one of them, just stick to the basics and it never disappoints.

PUDDING RICE ROYALE
Something as simple as rice pudding was treated much differently in the past as a dessert for the royal houses and its no longer popular now except for school meals.

EAST MEETS WEST
I am very wary of most fusion cooking but some combos do work and this version of gravad lax I learned working in Oz really nails two culinary cultures in one recipe.

ACTING THE GOAT CHEESE
It is always refreshing to see a hot cheese course instead of a cold cheeseboard and my favourite is simple but delicious.

LAYER CAKE
Mille Feuille is known the world over thanks to the genius of puff pastry and it can be an easy and delicious sweet or savoury dish that will always be a treat.

ALL DUCK FOR DINNER
Some poultry and game just cannot be roasted whole as legs can be tough as boots in some birds so they need a seperate longer cooking while fillets should retain their juicy flavour and texture.

BETTER FAST FOOD
If you keep some staples in the freezer and cupboard you will be surprised how easily you can knock up a quick and tasty meal.

AN OFFAL WASTE
These days offal is more likely to be turned into pet food than eaten by the modern consumer which is a shame as some countries still value its low price and flavour for their cuisine but sadly not mine.

STRAWBERRY YIELDS FOREVER
The fruit seasons are extending thanks to technology and ingredients like strawberries can still be edible into autumn. As ever the least done to them is best.

PASS THE PASTA TEST
It is one of the favourite foods of the world and once you master a basic homemade dough then the world of pasta is your oyster.

IRISH SPUD PIX
There is something about our Irish love for potatoes as well as a tragic past but we still like our traditional recipes even if not as fancy as our french friends.

BACK TO BASICS
A savory tart or pie has to be one of the most simply declicious things to eat and a basic quiche whether eaten hot or cold will never disappoint.

CURE FOR ALL
Charcuterie has to be one area of cooking that will never fall out of favour with the choice and quality as good as ever.

FISH STAKES
I have always had an issue with fish prejudice in cooking as all seafood has its merits and the lowly perceived ones also deserve their plaice on a plate.

SUNSHINE COAST
Ratatouille is one dish that sums up the cuisine of southern France and the Med but some recipes cook it for far too long losing those vibrant colours, texture and flavours.

SHARE THE FOOD LOVE
There is nothing nicer than making a gift showing the extra effort gone into it and food gifts are most appreciated. If you have a skill that can be shared then one is obliged to give it away.

ALL RISE FOR SOUFFLES
Savory souffles are not a popular as the sweet ones but this famous dish from the Roux brothers rises above them all.
