Odlums Fruity French Toast & Rowse Honey
Ingredients
4 Slices of Bread
2 Eggs (beaten)
4 Tablespoons Milk
1 Tablespoon Caster Sugar
Butter for frying
Topping
Rowse Honey
Punnet of Blueberries & Raspberries
50g/2oz Shamrock Walnuts (roughly chopped)
Method
- Beat the eggs, milk and sugar well in a bowl, then transfer to a large shallow dish (so you can easily dip in a slice of bread)
- Dip each side of bread in the batter and allow to soak for a few seconds.
- Heat a knob of butter in a pan over a medium heat. Fry both sides of the bread until golden brown.
- Put 2 slices of hot toast on a plate, cover with sliced banana, drizzle with maple syrup or honey and sprinkle with the walnuts.
- If serving a large number keep the toast warm in a preheated oven 130°C/250°F/Gas ½!
Note
The toast can be used for both sweet and savoury recipes! If savoury, omit the sugar and add a pinch of salt and pepper.
This is a great way to use up stale bread!!
Molly Malone’s cockle and mussel chowder by Rachel Allen ☘️ ♥️
Molly Malone was a beautiful girl who sold cockles and mussels and died tragically of a fever while still young, or so the song goes. Molly may not have been a real girl, but since at least the 17th century, there have been fishmongers on the streets of Dublin who sell ‘Cockles and Mussels, alive, alive, oh!’
Cockles, with their distinctive flavour and lovely curved shell, are traditionally eaten in Ireland with Oatcakes. If you can only find mussels, this chowder will be just as good.
Serve either as a substantial starter or with chunks of crusty bread as a meal in its own right.
Heat the sunflower oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and sauté for about 1 minute, until crisp and golden. Add the butter to the pan and melt. Then add the leek, carrot and potato. Reduce the heat to low and sauté gently for 4–5 minutes, until soft but not browned.
Meanwhile, prepare the cockles and mussels. Scrub the shells clean and discard any that remain open when you tap them against a hard surface. Remove the beard – the little fibrous tuft – from each mussel. Bring the wine to a boil in a large saucepan and add the cockles and mussels. Cover with a tight-fi tting lid and cook for 3–4 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the shells have opened.
Remove from the heat, drain the shellfi sh in a colander, reserving the cooking juices, and discard any shells that remain closed. Return the shellfi sh to the empty pan to keep warm. Place a fine sieve over a measuring jug and strain the cooking liquid. You should have at least 600ml (1 pint); if not, add water to make up that quantity.
Add the pan juices and the milk to the bacon and vegetable mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 6–8 minutes, until the potato is tender. Add the cream and simmer for another 2–3 minutes, until the soup is reduced and thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, remove half of the cockles and mussels from their shells and add them with the remaining cockles and mussels still in their shells to the chowder. Stir in the parsley and serve at once.

babyledfeeding- ☘️CRISPY Smashed Potatoes with Green Goddess Dip🍀 These were seriously addictive! I found all my ingredients at my local @dunnesstores. I love that they have such amazing quality Irish produce. It’s made all the difference in this recipe. Check out the full step by step below ⤵️
✨Ingredients
2kg Rooster Potatoes (skins on)
Drizzle olive oil
Goddess Green Sauce
1 avocado
Handful fresh coriander
Handful fresh parsley
50g (1/3 cup) cashews
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
80ml (1/3 cup) water
1-2 cloves roasted garlic (better for little tummies)
Juice 1/2 lime
Season with black pepper
Preheat oven to 180ºC.
Boil the potatoes until cooked. They should be soft on the inside but not falling apart. Empty onto a baking tray lined with parchment. Cut a cross into each one, then smash using a glass or cup. Drizzle over a little olive oil, then roast for 25-30 minutes.
To make the Goddess sauce, add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Serve the potatoes with fresh coriander leaves and dip!
👶🏻 For Babies, cut the potatoes into wedges and roast without smashing. Remove from the oven before they turn crispy to keep them really safe.
