Tasty Wholemeal Yeast Bread
This is a delicious brown wholemeal yeast loaf that is fairly easy to make and better than any bread you will buy in the shops. I use cup measures as much as possible there are much easier than scales. For those who don't have cup measure, there are approximately 100g or 4oz of Flour in a cup. Odlums don't supply Strong Wholemeal Flour anymore, you will have to make the trip to the health food shops to source.

Seared Scallops with Confit of Pork Cheek and Cauliflower Textures
From: Neven Maguire: Home Chef
Rich and tender pork cheek combines perfectly with sweet, delectable scallops in this easily prepared starter. Although there is some preparation involved, the results are well worth the effort and will have your guests begging for the recipe! Order your pork cheeks from your craft butcher, giving a few days’ notice.

Fillet of Dry-aged Beef with Braised Blade and Celeriac Purée
From: Neven Maguire: Home Chef
Beef is our number one seller in the restaurant and we sell more fillet than any other cut. However, I’ve recently discovered the blade of beef – which has an excellent flavour and offers great value. First we braise it before shaping and leaving overnight to firm up, which creates a lovely round for presentation

Braised Shoulder of Lamb with Mediterranean Couscous
From: Neven Maguire: Home Chef
A version of this dish often makes an appearance on our Sunday lunch menu or I have it as an element on the tasting plate of Irish lamb. I just love to showcase the versatility of lamb. Make sure you ask your loval butcher to trim, bone and roll the shoulder for you so that you end up with a nice shape for presentation.

Passion Fruit and Orange Jelly with Vanilla Yoghurt and Granita
From: Neven Maguire: Home Chef
A refreshing palate cleanser in the restaurant, but equally good as a dessert served with a yoghurt ice cream – you can’t beat jelly and ice cream. If you’re serving them as a pre-dessert, put 50ml (2 floz) of the jelly into 75ml (3 floz) shot glasses. Feel free to experiment with other flavours, such as cranberry and orange, apple, vanilla or mango. The granite can be flavoured with ginger beer, raspberry coulis, or strawberry coulis and champagne.

Neven Maguire's The Orchard
From: Neven Maguire: Home Chef
Apple Panna Cotta with Apple Jelly, Glazed Apple Tart, Apple Crumble and Apple Parfait. This is our signature dessert and a great way to present apples when they’re in season. The idea is to take your taste buds on a journey of lots of different textures and flavours. We call it The Orchard after Co. Armagh.

Rump of Local Lamb with Pea Purée and Rosemary Jus
From: Neven Maguire: Home Chef
We often put this on our Sunday lunch menu when lamb is in season, as it’s a delicious cut of meat that offers good value. We have just started growing broad beans, which I’m very excited about. A little goes a long way and they add an extra dimension to the rosemary jus.
Serves: 6
The Raspberry Plate
From: Neven Maguire: Home Chef
This is a signature dessert that has been on the menu for years but is constantly evolving. It was originally given to me by my good friend Neil McFadden. I just love the combination of shortcake and cold buttermilk pudding, and it’s a great dessert for entertaining, as there is a lot that can be done in advance.
