Irish Flavours for a Festive St. Patrick’s Day

Hello Reader

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with homemade Irish dishes? Whether you're hosting a gathering or just want to enjoy some festive flavours, I’ve got the perfect recipes for you!

These are the kinds of recipes that work just as well on a random weeknight as they do for a St Patrick’s Day dinner with friends. Cook once, enjoy leftovers, and maybe raise a glass while you’re at it!

​Honey Buckwheat Soda Bread – No yeast, no fuss—just warm, hearty goodness.

​Irish Beef Stew – Slow-simmered perfection with tender beef and root veggies.

​Traditional Colcannon – Creamy mashed potatoes with a buttery cabbage twist.

​Irish Potato Farls – Bread, cake or mashed potatoes? How about all in one?!?

Sláinte!

Wishing you a flavourful week ahead!

Love,

Why I’m Running the London Marathon This Year

This spring on 26 April, I (Brad) will be running the London Marathon to raise money for Christian Aid — a charity I used to work for and still care deeply about. Christian Aid supports communities around the world facing poverty and injustice, and every donation, big or small, helps make a real difference. Anything you can contribute - even £5/$5 - would be greatly appreciated!

Your Cinco de Mayo Menu Is Here! Hello Reader it doesn't take a lot to convince me to turn dinner into a feast, and Cinco de Mayo is just too perfect to miss! I'm planning to go all out with the menu this year, with some of my favourites hitting the dinner table. 5 May just happens to land on a Tuesday this year, so I'll be leaning into Taco Tuesday, with a couple of options that are especially popular in my home. Pair that with a starter and a set of classic sides, and I know it'll be a hit....

It's Asparagus Season! Hello Reader April has arrived, and with it comes one of the most exciting signs of spring: asparagus season. I'm a huge fan of those vibrant green spears. And because they are only around for a short window, I want to make the most of the opportunity. So this week, I’m sharing a few of my favourite recipes that let asparagus shine. Love them as much as I do? I would love it if you left a review and star rating on the website to help other readers find their next...

Recipes I'm cooking on repeat! Hello Reader April always feels like a month of in-between moments in the kitchen.

Lately I’ve been leaning on a handful of recipes from the blog that strike that perfect balance: cosy enough for unpredictable weather, but fresh enough to celebrate the change in season. These are the...
