    Crispy Chickpeas

    02/06/2013 /4 Comments

    We’re not long back from Bloom 2013 and I’m a bit peckish. I may have over indulged a little earlier in the day so I decided to make these quick and easy crispy chickpeas which are far more virtuous than my shopping basket!

    Beetroot is in season and pickling is a simple way to preserve it. You don’t need loads of tools or time, just a small amount of preparation and space in your cupboard.

    The baby has reached the stage where he can grab food and put it into his mouth. It has resulted in many messes and an unforgettable evening where Daddy gave him a piece of banana while I snook out to a meeting for 1 hour. A packet of wipes, dunk in the bathtub and a tired baby later I’m still scrubbing his bouncer to try and get the stains off.

    Simple Coleslaw

    25/05/2012 /22 Comments

    Do you like simple coleslaw?  I detest the shop bought, greasy with mayonnaise, too much salt, identikit coleslaw.  You know the one where all the pieces are smaller than a corn kernel and it has more in common with cottage cheese in terms of appearance & texture.  Well this is healthy, crunchy & raw simple coleslaw.  You use the best of fresh ingredients and skimp on the mayonnaise. I got this recipe from my mother who has been making a variation on this recipe for years.  Whenever there’s a family BBQ it’s a given that she will bring this coleslaw along and there is rarely any leftover to take home…

    BBQ Chilli Sauce

    21/05/2012 /5 Comments

    On Saturday I spotted some sunshine beginning to peek through the clouds.  Then it began to burn off the clouds and I saw a wide expanse of blue sky and found the sun on the patio.  It was so warm it got up to 17 degrees in the back, North facing, garden.  What better excuse to pull out the BBQ than a bit of sunshine? Do I even need an excuse?

    Spice Mix

    10/05/2012 /5 Comments

    When in the supermarket there are about 2 aisles that I gloss over now that I previously wouldn’t have.  They contain factory made sauces in jars, preserved food in tins, spice mixes and meal “convenience packs”. I do stock up on some tinned foods like tomatoes and certain beans for salads but mainly I skim over the 2 aisles. I can see why you could be tempted by packets of pre-mixed spices for meat and vegetables and jars of sauces, particularly when you’re in a hurry. There are days when I’m climbing the walls from a teething baby and a cranky toddler that I could be tempted to grab a…

    Homemade Butter

    When I was 14 I took part in a school foreign exchange programme with a school in Avignon, France. You would think that it was a marvellous opportunity to learn about amazing french cuisine and taste some new foods.  Unfortunately you would be wrong.  My hosts didn’t seem to eat a lot of French food, and got take out like pizza and chinese most nights.  When our exchange students stayed with us my mother went out of her way to cook up dishes that she thought they would like and also ones that gave them a taste of Ireland.
