Cook a wee taste of Ireland
An inspiring compendium of recipes and advice, Homemade is
packed full of ideas for every occasion, from stocking your
pantry year-round to relaxed Sunday dinners and entertaining
friends and family. Alongside this are household tips and
helpful hints on everything from setting your table to
selecting the perfect cheeseboard, a guide to wine and
cheeses, a chapter on edible gifts, and tips and recipes for
canning. Acclaimed cook, writer and TV presenter, Clodagh
McKenna has built her reputation on championing local
artisans, cooking with the seasons and respecting the
traditional ways of doing things. Here she cooks from the
heart with stunning recipes for lazy brunches, heavenly
afternoon teas, simple dinner parties, delicious lunches and
cozy fireside suppers.
Whether youβre cooking for yourself, organizing and
decorating your home or preparing for holidays and special
occasions, Clodagh sets out to show how easy βhomemadeβ
really is and why just taking the time to do something as
simple as preparing your own lunchbox can be so much more
rewarding and healthy. Be the source of envy at work with a
lunch of homemade vegetable chips or a steaming bowl of
Spiced Butternut Squash Soup, a New York Reuben or Clodaghβs
signature Couscous and Chickpea Salad rather than the same
tired sandwich. For family get-togethers choose from five
different ways of roasting a chicken, including Thai-Style
and Tarragon, White Wine and Garlic Butter. Treat everyone
on a cozy fire-side dinner with Warming Cottage Pie and
Fondue to Share. Impress friends with a lazy brunch spread
featuring Classic Eggs Florentine or Baked Eggs, washed down
with Bloody Maryβs and completed with Pecan Swirls.
The perfect modern companion, Homemade offers an essential
guide to good food and a reassuring hand in the kitchen.
Whatever the occasion, Clodaghβs enthusiasm and easy
instructions mean you can make the most of your cupboard
staples and the best of the seasons. Homemade is the perfect
gift for the holidays and for couples and newlyweds. The
book offers inspired recipes and menus for easy, breezy fall
and winter entertaining from a homey weekend gathering with
family and a lovely afternoon tea on a chilly afternoon with
friends to an intimate Christmas cocktail party or an
elegant New Yearβs Eve supper.
