Ardsallagh Goat’s Cheese Soufflé by Darina Allen – Cook with Avonmore
Ingredients
- 75g (3oz) butter, plus extra for greasing
- 300ml (½ pint) double cream
- 300ml (½ pint) milk
- a few slices of carrot
- 1 small onion, quartered
- 4–5 black peppercorns
- a sprig of thyme, a few flat-leaf parsley stalks and a little scrap of bay
- 40g (1½oz) plain flour
- 5 organic eggs, separated
- 110g (4oz) goat’s cheese (we use Ardsallagh), crumbled
- 75g (3oz) Gruyère cheese, finely grated
- 50g (2oz) mature Coolea or Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- good pinch of salt, cayenne, freshly ground black pepper
- and nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
To serve
- lots of thyme flowers, if available
- green salad
Directions
We have several farmhouse goat’s-cheesemakers in Ireland.We use Ardsallagh goat’s cheese, St Tola from Inagh in Co.Clare is also heaven, as is Gortnamona from Cooleeneyfarm in Co. Tipperary and Corleggy from Co. Cavan.We bake this soufflé until golden and puffy in a shallow oval dish instead of the traditional soufflé bowl. It makes a perfect lunch or supper dish. Little individual bowls are also perfect as a starter. Reduce the cooking time accordingly.
Preheat the oven to 230°C/450°F/gas 8. Brush the bottom andsides of a 30cm (12in) shallow oval dish (not a soufflé dish) or six individual wide, rimmed soup bowls with melted butter.Put the cream and milk into a saucepan, add the carrot, onion,peppercorns and fresh herbs. Bring slowly to the boil, and then setaside to infuse for 10 minutes. Strain, discarding the flavourings(we rinse them off and throw them into the stockpot if there isone on the go).Melt the butter, add the flour and cook for a minute or two.Whisk in the strained cream and milk, bring to the boil and whisk
until the sauce thickens. Cool slightly. Add the egg yolks, goat’scheese, Gruyère and most of the Coolea or Parmesan (reservingsome for the topping). Season with salt, cayenne, freshly groundpepper and nutmeg. Taste and correct the seasoning.Whisk the egg whites stiffly and fold them gently into the mixtureto make a loose consistency. Spoon into the prepared dish, scatter thethyme leaves over the top and sprinkle with the reserved Coolea orParmesan.Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes (or 9–11 minutesfor the individual soufflés) or until the sides and top are nicely puffedup and golden – the centre should still be creamy. Garnish withthyme flowers. Serve immediately with a good green salad.

Chocolate Meringue Cake by Rachel Allen #ballymaloe
White Soda Bread recipe @Ballymaloe Co.Cork ❤️
INGREDIENTS
Preheat the oven to 250deg C
Makes 1 loaf
450g (1lb, 31/2 cups) plain flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
300-600ml (1/2 – 1 pint, 1 1/4 – 2 1/2 cups) sour milk or buttermilk
METHOD
Sieve the dry ingredients. Make a well in the centre.
Pour in all the milk at once. Using 1 hand, with your fingers stiff and outstretched like a claw, stir in a full circular movement from the centre to the outside of the bowl in ever increasing circles. The dough should be softish, not too wet and sticky. When it all comes together, turn it out onto a well-floured work surface. Wash and dry your hands. Tidy it up and flip over gently. Pat the dough into a round, about 4cm deep.
Cut a deep cross on the loaf and prick in the four corners.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes then turn down to 200deg C for 30 minutes until cooked. If you are in doubt, tap the bottom of the bread, when it is cooked it will sound hollow. Cool on a wire rack.
Tip! Soda breads are best eaten on the day they are made, but are still good the next day.
Spotted Dog
Follow the recipe above adding: 1 dessert spoon of sugar, 100g sultanas, 1 egg.
Add the sugar and the sultanas with the flour and drop the egg in with the milk before missing. Spotted dog is also called railway cake in some parts of Ireland.
Stripy Cat
Follow the spotted dog recipe replacing the sultanas with 75g of roughly chopped best quality chocolate.

Darina Allen and Rory O’Connell’s Christmas Mincemeat recipe passed down in Myrtle Allen’s family for generations #Ballymaloe
Here are three delicious options, the first is the classic Mincemeat recipe passed down in Myrtle Allen’s family for several generations. Of course, it contains suet so it’s moist and juicy and best eaten hot. The second, Emer Fitzgerald’s Mincemeat is vegetarian, it doesn’t include suet or butter and is also gluten free. The third, Brandy Mincemeat, does not include suet either, but does have butter.
Ingredients
- 2 cooking apples, e.g. Bramley Seedling
- 2 organic lemons
- 450g (1lb) beef suet (see P.00)
- pinch of salt
- 110g (4oz) candied citrus peel (preferably homemade)
- 2 tablespoons Seville orange marmalade
- 225g (8oz) currants
- 450g (1lb) sultanas
- 900g (2lbs) Barbados sugar (moist, soft, dark-brown)
- 62ml (2 1/2fl oz) Irish whiskey
Method
Makes 3.2 kilos approx. Makes 8-9 pots.
- Core and bake the whole apples in a moderate oven, 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4, for 30 minutes approx. Allow to cool. When they are soft, remove the skin and pips and mash the flesh into pulp.
- Grate the rind from the lemons on the finest part of a stainless steel grater and squeeze out the juice and stir into the pulp. Add the other ingredients one by one, and as they are added, mix everything thoroughly.
- Put into sterilized jars, cover and leave to mature for 2 weeks before using. This mincemeat will keep for a year in a cool, airy place.
Rachel Allen’s Irish Gingerbread @RTEfood
There’s no better accompaniment for a hot pot of tea than this gingerbread from Rachel Allen.
Ingredients
- 60 g (2½oz) butter
- 75 g (3oz) treacle
- 50 g (2oz) golden syrup
- 140 g (4¾oz) plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
- 100 g (3½oz) caster sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 125 ml (4½fl oz) milk
- for the syrup
- 75 g (3oz) caster sugar
- 2 tsp finely grated root ginger, or finely chopped crystallised ginger
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F), Gas mark 3. Line the base and sides of a 900g (2lb) loaf tin with baking parchment.
- Melt the butter, treacle and golden syrup in a small saucepan on a low heat, then set aside.
- Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder into a bowl and stir in the spices, sugar and salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg, then add the milk and the melted butter mixture and pour into the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth – it will have a wet sloppy consistency.
- Pour into the prepared loaf tin and bake in the oven for 50–55 minutes until risen and firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. (Wait for at least 45 minutes before opening the oven to check whether the gingerbread has cooked, otherwise it can collapse in the centre.)
- While the gingerbread is cooking, make the syrup. Place the sugar and ginger in a small saucepan with 75ml (3fl oz) water, bring to the boil over a medium heat and boil, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened and syrupy.
- Once the gingerbread is cooked, take it out of the oven and, leaving it in the tin, pierce it all over the top with a fine skewer, then pour the syrup over and leave to cool completely.
- When the gingerbread is cold, take it out of the tin and serve.
