Stone Stew
Winter in Ireland means stew becomes a regular menu feature. Irish stew is a world famous dish, but one that wonāt feature in this house of vegetarians. Still, we need the heartiness and the warm filling elements of stew. I decided thatās what we needed last night.
Initially, I was going to whip up some Mulligatawny Soupbut quickly realised I didnāt have all the ingredients. My health has takenā¦

Kala Chana Soup
Soup is one of my favourite things ā but only if drunk from a mug. Itās comfort food; especially as the days and nights get colder. We had a bag of kala chanain our house ā which lead to some interesting musings about who ate them first, and how they decided that these stone-like things could be rendered edible after lots of soaking and boiling ā and we decided to soak and boil them all up atā¦

The Referendum That Everybody Won
āWill this be in history books in the future?ā Kashmira asked me. āYes,ā I said. She beamed. āAnd I can say I was there.ā There were no losers in this referendum. Love won, and when love wins, nobody loses ā not even those who voted no and did not want the amendment to be made. This referendum was important and it really caught my kidsā attention. Ishthara, at 13, was a bit stumped that we wouldā¦

Warm(ish) Salad with Tahini Dressing
It occurred to me that it was a while since Iād made hummus, and as I had a brand new jar of tahini, I thought today might be the day to put that right. Then, I noticed that there were a few odds and ends in the fridge this morning and I decided to combine them in a salad and use the tahini in a dressing.
So this is what we ended up with:
The camera didnāt work the first time, so I ended upā¦

Coconut 'Chicken' Curry
This is one of my favourites ā full of flavour and not at all spicy, so you can serve it to anyone and they wonāt be afraid of it. I was full sure Iād already posted this recipe until my friend Karen and her daughter, Ciara, came by for lunch. Ciara is also vegetarian and forever on the hunt for new recipes. She liked this curry, so I blithely told her āoh! Itās on the blog ā you can easilyā¦

Amaranth Patties
So, you remember the other day when I was extolling the virtues of quinoa? Well, hold the phone, honey, cos Iāve a new grain to tell you about and itās got even more protein in it than quinoa and itās less than half the price. Ā Amaranth. Gluten-free, heart-friendly and versatile, itās also less than half the price of quinoa (in case you didnāt hear me the first time!).
I have given up wheat againā¦

Beetroot, Quinoa & Rocket
I always forget how much I love beetroot until I end up with little else to prepare for lunch or dinner. Then, I break into a sweat and wonder what on earth I can do to make it interesting. This recipe was invented on one such day. Now, Iām not for a moment going to pretend that quinoa is a cheap food. Itās not. That is to say, a 500g bag retails at about ā¬7.00 but that bag gets you get aboutā¦

Mixed Veg Oven Baked Frittata with Rooster Wedges
This is another of those quick and easy recipes that we all need a slew of! Iād spent most of the day slaving over a hot laptop and it was 6pm before I knew where I was. Iād picked up 1.5kg of gorgeous little roosters in Lidl the other day for ā¬0.79 and there was some frozen veg in the freezer and eight eggs in the fridge. Plenty for dinner, so!

Quick Mushroom & Kidney Bean Curry
This recipe was born because we needed to go shopping yesterday, but I didnāt feel like venturing out in pre-snow weather (not least because I was reading a terrific book ā Rowan Colemanās The Memory Book). Ā So I had a quick rummage in the cupboards and came up with this:
1 Onion
250g Mushrooms
2 Tablespoons of Sesame Oil
4 Teaspoons of garlic-ginger paste
1 Tin of Kidney Beans
1 Tin of Tomatoes

Nollaig na mBan
Last Tuesday ā January 6th ā was Nollaig na mBan. Ā For the past six (or maybe seven?) years, I have celebrated the tradition in my home by inviting several of the wonderful woman I am pleased to know into our home for dinner, drinks and chat. This year was no exception. About a dozen women joined me for dinner (my girls scarpered upstairs with plates ā feeling at the same time both too old andā¦

Stone Soup
These days, the anxiety is worse than it has been for a while. Actually, itās worse than itās ever been ā anxiety is a new one for me; Iāve only been dealing with it for a few months. But Iāll tell you this much ā I wouldnāt wish it on my worse enemy. This isnāt a mental health blog, so I wonāt go on about it, Iām only mentioning it because sometimes it keep me from leaving the house, answeringā¦

Peppers Stuffed with Curried Rice &Ā Veggies
Gosh, itās been a while since I posted here. Not, obviously, because I havenāt been cooking but I have (to be honest) gotten a little bit lazy with writing them up on the blog.
Ā Anyway, the fabulous Anne Marie OāConnor inspired me to get back with it, as she posted a recipe on her blogmade from the odds and sods in her kitchen. I was in the middle of looking at the fridge, cupboards and shelvesā¦

Just a quick note today to point you in the direction of my friend, Lauraās, website dairyfree.ie. Earlier this week, Laura interviewed me for her blog. You can see what we spoke about hereĀ (hint: thereās a clue in the title!).

Three Continents Mince
This is one of those recipes that organically happens when you give your imagination (and ingredients) free reign.
Ā Iām running an austerity kitchen again this week (too many bills and a birthday assaulted me all at once!) and we essentially had a bag of Ā Quorn mince for dinner. As regular readers will know, Iām a great fan of the stone soup approach to cooking, so decided to jazz things up aā¦

Almond, Orange & RoseĀ Bake
Initially, I wanted to make a shortbread, but that isnāt how this turned out. I possibly should have used a bigger tin and spread it thinner, but this ended up being one of those recipes that was an experiment that went right.

200g of Ground Almonds

I hesitated before posting these recipes. The cake, in particular, isnāt really a budget bake (what with ground almonds being E1.79 per 200g), but if you fancy a bit of a splurge when there are a few more euros than usual knocking around, this menu might be just what youāre looking for.
