This is a delicious and filling breakfast. The red berries are full of antioxidants. It also is a good source of protein with the natural yoghurt and chia seeds, together with the pumpkin and sunflower seeds, quinoa and nuts in the homemade granola. It also has sesame seeds in it, which are a very good […]
On Saturday I attended a course on Gluten and Wheat Free Cooking, given by Maggie Lynch of the IINH’s Taste Health Kitchen. Maggie is full of enthusiasm and the atmosphere is relaxed and very friendly, and over the 5 hours or so, Maggie fits in so much, demonstrating the recipes but also giving lots of […]
Here is my recipe for a very easy but tasty Thai Green Curry Courgette Soup. In an ideal world you would make your own curry paste, but I did not have all the ingredients, so I used M&S’s Thai Green Curry Paste Shots. I always have some of these in the pantry as they are […]
Spent Sunday afternoon cooking for the week and weeks ahead. Made Black Bean Chilli, Beef Chilli (for the meat eaters), Thai Green Curry Courgette Soup, Gluten Free Bread and Home Made Granola. With the two chilli dishes I have kept one portion of each for tonights dinner and have put the rest into containers for […]
One of the yoga instructors in the class I attended in Prahran (Melbourne) said one day: “The body and mind love habits – it is up to us which habits we choose to cultivate and encourage” – and I just love this quote. It can be the small things we change in our lifestyle or […]

Whilst we were in Port Fairy over January we ate this dish of Spanish Eggs with Pumpkin for brunch. I decided to make it for dinner a few nights ago and it got the thumbs up from everyone – my husband actually said it was the best vegetarian meal he has had – he is […]
Arrived back in Dublin on Monday and am now acclimatising to the cold weather and getting over my jet lag!! I decided I needed some warming comfort food so made a big pot of Minestrone Soup which went down well with everyone in the house for a tasty lunch. Made it slightly differently to my […]
Two delicious brunches in Melbourne Cafes’. Both the same order, smashed avocado on sourdough, with persian feta, poached egg, beetroot relish and a side of spinach. (One has sliced cherry tomatoes and the other pickled onions). However look at the difference in these two plates. The second plate is literally twice the size of the […]
Another easy meal using my black bean chilli from the freezer. Roast whole sweet potatoes until they are very soft inside (I find this usually takes about 1 1/4 hours for a reasonable sized sweet potato). Heat the chilli beans. Pile on top of the sweet potato which has been cut in half, and add […]
