Some things are just not about looks. And Shepherd’s Pie is one of those things. When this Irish Shepherd’s Pie came out of the oven, those bubbly edges and almost-charred snaggles on top, along with the smatter of spatters along the edges almost made me want to skip photographing it altogether. Which got me thinking: […]
Parsnip Colcannon with Cabbage & Leeks
The most famous versions of this dish are made with good old-fashioned spuds, sometimes with other root vegetables thrown into the mix, but always with a potato-y backbone.

I eat a savory breakfast like this sausage plantain hash almost every single day, but I’ve realized that I don’t tend to share them here. Mostly because breakfast is the meal I like to enjoy quietly and, quite often, on repeat. Usually I stick to soups with extra bits and bobs from the fridge. It’s […]
