This coming Monday is St. Patrick’s Day and I thought I would mark the occasion with something ‘not’ traditionally Irish. Supermarkets over here in Washington are fully stocked with huge cuts of corned beef wrapped in packaging emblazoned with smiling leprechauns.
Sticky toffee pudding is something I’ve become really fond of recently. It’s a very classic British dessert, that can be steamed or baked. This pudding is made with a basic cake batter and dates. Dates are not something you would normally associate with decadent desserts, but trust me it works.
A couple of years ago when we still lived in Ireland, we took a trip to Carlingford Lough, a small seaside town near the Northern Irish boarder. Carlingford is a really pretty scenic place to visit and we went kayaking and stayed the night in a local hotel.
It’s February once again which means that my blog is now three years old. In that time I have cooked almost 200 recipes for Stasty.com, published a gluten-free eBook and got a job that I love developing recipes for SousVide Supreme.
This colorful warm salad is perfect to brighten even the darkest winter days. The roasted squash and cherry tomatoes taste even sweeter thanks to a tart lemon and maple dressing.
Light, crisp and crumbly meringues with chocolate, softly whipped cream, and banana slices – could there be anything nicer?
