Because sometimes you simply just need a slice of cake...In my experience on those kind of days Madeira type of cake is the best - quick and easy to make and so many flavour possibilities. Yes, you can keep it nice and simple by just adding few drops o...

It's quite tricky to make a chocolate cake without eggs, a chocolate birthday cake which was a request from my 5 year old, who happens to have an egg intolerance. It's no an impossible task, but I really wanted to make something without bananas, as tha...

NO, I have not turned Vegan, or even Vegetarian over the New Year's resolutions, but if you're reading my blog for a while you probably know that my younger daughter has an egg intolerance... Thankfully it's not a severe case and she can get away with ...

Crumbles are THE desserts designed for winter time. Soft, sweet fruit,covered with crumbly and crunchy layer, all served steaming hot with a side of cream.... What's not to like on a wintry cold day?! There's not a lot of fruit that are in season durin...

There's nothing better than a homemade parfait, but we rarely have time to make it. I was never really a fan of a store bought version, unless it's from a really good deli, it's really hard to find a quality one. If you love liver parfait you'll be hap...

Yes, we've ALL been there - New Year comes and we promise ourselves (and sometimes others) that we will stop doing this and start doing that. How many times you've made that list, and actually stuck to it?!?! Yup, probably as often as me every year - i...

I'm very hesitant when it comes to buying aubergines, mainly because I still have to be really, really convinced by someone or some brilliant dish, that it can be really good. But, recently I gave in, mainly because it was on a huge sale in a loc...

Chocolate cupcakes, I know I might not be very inventive, but... how about chocolate cupcakes with an addition of beetroot? I promise you won't even know it's there! And how about sneaking that one of "five a day" to your children? Or maybe even yourse...

Autumn IS my favourite time of the year. The sun isn't so "sharp" anymore, its light is more mellow and heat more pleasant. The leaves turn to all the different colours - from golden brown to orange, rusty, yellow and even some ruby red. I love walking...

Not your usual Sunday roast chicken, but if you like spices (and I don't mean spicy food but flavoursome!) and if you like to try something different this dish is definitely for you!You really don't have to be a huge fan of Indian cuisine, as this chic...

My own banana bread, and what I mean by that is, that it's my own tried and tested recipe. I'm on a look out for a good banana recipes since I can remember. It's way to often that we're left with very ripe, brown bananas that are in need of some love a...

I'm here and I'm alive! It's the middle of the summer season here in Ireland (yes, even though it definitely doesn't feel like summer, with all that wind and rain...). Summer season means holidays, which means lots of visitors to this Green Isle, and K...

I can't believe it's been so long since I wrote anything here.... And it's not like I'm not cooking, as that's what I mainly do at the moment, being a chef an all! ;) Working in the kitchen has completely changed my life - for better, for so much bette...

Wow.... who knew that when you're a chef you actually do very little cooking and baking at your own house! I know, I probably shouldn't be surprised by that, but I still am... It's not that I don't want to cook and bake at home, or that I'm fed up with...

Yes, it's quite easy and quick to make your very own chocolate truffles. What's more - it will cost you a fraction of the price you would have to pay for the hand made chocolates in any of the shops, especially the ones from artisan food producers. Don...

So the journey has finished... The best part has just begun! I'm out in the world, equipped in the skills, and a bit of confidence and belief in myself too, ready to work as a chef, to fully become one. All that thanks to an amazing teacher, mentor and...
