Cranberry, Macadamia & Chocolate Chip Flapjacks
These are a 5 minute effort that yield great rewards in the form of a delectably chewily satisfying treat. While strictly speaking chocolatey, sugary treats shouldn’t feature in a ‘healthy’ lunchbox I’ve been shoving these in and justifying their inclusion

Fruit Filled Pavlova
A fruit and cream filled pavlova is a simple stunning dessert which always make an impressive looking centrepiece. I love the strength of the reds in the strawberries, and raspberries but I could imagine this looking equally tempting with

Perfect Porridge
Porridge enthusiasts will swear that their way is the best and as this is my way this is of course ‘THE’ best way! I usually slide into porridge making somewhere around October / November and it will continue to comfort

Walnut Bread & Very Berry Granola
I suspect that I am not the only Irish person who thinks that September is a summer month, not to mind August, which if I cast my mind back long enough is surely a month for the beach. And why

Apple and Almond Tart
Cue the M&S voice-over; this is no ordinary tart, this is a Neven Maguire Apple and Almond Tart. You’ll take a mouthful, shut your eyes then probably let them roll a little as cream continues to melt into still bitey

Wholemeal Pesto Scones
Last weekend brought a wonderful excuse to visit Galway. I travelled solo and met up with The Gravy Man at The G Hotel where we availed of their Fabulous Friday package which included a 3 course meal that was superb. Only

Rhubarb Crumble 2
Rhubarb crumble – scrumptious, simple to make and in-season now, treat yourself - it works strangely well with chocolate ice-cream. This time last year almost exactly to the day I posted a Rhubarb Crumble recipe but when I went to

Chocolate & Raspberry Fondant
A chocolate fondant, a falling down cake, a molten lava cake, call it what you will what we’re talking of here is an individual pot of chocolatey heaven with a gooey, still warm centre. mmmmmmm I hear you say. Double

White Christmas Biscuit Cake
‘When can we have some, when can we have some?’…is what I’m being implored since I iced up this Christmas cake. This time last year we would have been admiring a royal icing decorated traditional Christmas Cake which looked equally as

Make, Bake, Love – Bagels
Bagels! Now who knew that I could make bagels? Well, thanks to Lilly Higgins beautiful new book ‘Make,Bake, Love’ I can. Mine may not have turned out quite as goldenly glazed as Lilly’s but they were delicious nonetheless. Working from

Wild Blackberry & Apple Crumble
Foraging is sort of on-trend in the Irish Foodie Community lately. They’ve been out hunting for wild garlic, seaweed, mushrooms and nettles. Blackberry picking though never goes out of style. It’s autumn, it’s harvest time and the hedgerows should be heaving with the
