If you’re looking for a tasty and traditional way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, look no further. Dublin Coddle is a slow-cooked, melt in your mouth potato, bacon and sausage stew. The origin story of this delicious dish is that the significant other of someone enjoying a pint or three down at their local, would leave a pot simmering away on the stove (or “coddling”) so the social drinker had something hearty to eat when they eventually returned home from the pub. If you want to keep it traditional, use pork sausages, and you can get more of your ‘5-a-day’ in by adding carrots with your waxy potatoes or some chopped up cabbage an hour before cooking is complete. You’ll love mopping up the sauce with some Irish soda bread and maybe a glass of Guinness (or two).
Chinese New year is a time of celebration, togetherness, with plenty of feasting on delicious food. One of the dishes you will often see served is a whole Chicken. Chicken is a homophone for ji (吉, meaning ‘good luck’ and ‘prosperity’) and also signifies ‘a good beginning and end’ to the year. It’s usually offered first to your ancestors and the gods for blessings and protection. This whole roasted Sichuan Chicken from @omnivorescookbook is aromatic with the right amount of spice and heat and is juicy and delicious inside, with crispy skin on the outside.

As much as we love a traditional Christmas meal, down here in the warmer Southern Hemisphere, the thought of a table full of hot food isn’t always appealing. If you’re on the look-out for festive feast alternative to hot roast potatoes, look no further. This cold, minty and herby potato salad will hit the spot and it keeps for 2-3 days in the fridge – perfect for Boxing Day catch ups and easy meals with all that left-over ham. Yummy.
Glazed baked ham is a bit of a Christmas crowd-pleaser, served warm with a selection of sides for the main meal, and dived into later for late-night festive snacks, served cold with mustard in a crunchy roll or fresh bread. This glaze is easy to make, tastes out of this world and is the perfect sweet partner for a picture perfect finish.

Try baking some of these spectacular savoury scones this weekend – you won’t regret it.
