    Ham Soup With Dumplings

    23/12/2018 /

    This ham soup with dumplings is a great one-pot meal. You could even freeze the cooking water from the ham on Christmas Day and reheat it to make the soup at a later date. NB: Soup mix is a dried mixture of pulses that you can buy in your supermarket. There are 2 types. One requires presoaking, I only buy the ready to use version! You’ll typically find a mixture of barley, wheat, lentils and small beans in the mixture.  Very handy for bulking up a soup or stew and adding fibre to your diet.

    Christmas Fruit Parcels

    06/12/2018 /

    These Christmas Fruit Parcels are a lighter alternative to cakes and puddings and have no suet and very little fat, no eggs and can be prepared quickly. They can easily be adapted for vegans too.

    Dishwasher Vodka

    04/12/2018 /

    Normally when infusing alcohol with spices or fruit you have to wait a number of months for the best flavour. This is a cheat’s version, called dishwasher vodka, which if made today will be ready for drinking or gifting tomorrow!

    Savoury Crumble With Mustard

    17/12/2013 /

    I was recently contacted by Maille, who asked me to review a gift box of their premium mustards. What better way to review a product than to try it in a recipe and see how it stands up to my Savoury Crumble with Mustard?

    Cinnamon Rolls

    14/12/2013 /

    A few weeks ago my friend Deb posted a picture of some screen-lickable cinnamon rolls she’d baked.  Seeing as she’s in Tipperary and I’m just outside of Dublin it’s not as if we can arrange a delivery so I decided to give them a go and bake them myself.

    Turkey Carrot Rice Crackers

    12/12/2013 /

    This day fortnight (insert shriek of panic here) you will probably get to the point where you don’t want to see another piece of turkey or ham for a month. Yet sitting in front of you is half an uneaten turkey and likewise a ham. Christmas can be a time of excess and you’ll always spot it at the Christmas dinner table.

    Toffee Apple Cake

    04/12/2013 /

    I’ve been testing this recipe for a while, in fact since Hallowe’en. I know it’s a long time to be playing around with a bake as important as Toffee Apple Cake but it was important that I got it right. My taste-tester-in-chief has declared it the best apple cake he’s ever tasted. He always says that, I think because he’s afraid if he doesn’t flatter me then his steady supply of cake will dry up. No matter, I have plenty of willing volunteers to take his place!

    Low Sugar Orange and Grapefruit Marmalade

    21/12/2012 /

    It is, I think, the 10th of my 12 Days of Christmas blogposts.  Today I made a batch of our low sugar orange and grapefruit marmalade.  It is still sweet but uses far less processed sugars and so theoretically is good for you.
