    Celebrity Chef

    Follow@DonalSkehan

    In Donal's own words,  "I’m a self taught home cook who writes and photographs food for a living. I’ve been cooking from an early age and inspired by a family of foodies, food quickly became a way of life." Good …

    Donal's smoky chicken tacos

    The beauty of homemade tacos is that when it comes to serving it's a perfect excuse to get everyone to assemble their own. All the different elements can be laid out on the table and from there, it's choose your own taco adventure time! Take the time to char the corn tortillas on a hot griddle pan or over an open flame using tongs – it makes such a difference to their flavour.

    Donal's roast cherry tomato pici

    I apologise to my regular readers, who have seen variants of this recipe throughout my cookbooks. It started as a cheap dinner for two but now it's become a staple part of our regular weeknight family meals. The idea is to roast sweet cherry tomatoes and garlic until their flavour intensifies and then press together with a fork in the roasting tray to create the perfect coating for freshly cooked pasta. In this version, we make our own pici, one of the easiest pastas to make which can be made in the time the sauce cooks.

    Donal's dark chocolate & sea salt cookies

    Depending on how gooey and chewy you like your cookies you can cook these a little more or less than the time I've given here. You might need to make a couple of batches to find your perfect number but no one will be complaining as these cookies are gloriously moreish!

    Donal Skehan's spicy peanut butter satay pork

    A rich and creamy satay that relies on one of my favourite pantry ingredients, peanut butter. This also works incredibly well with chicken thigh meat. If you can't find kecap manis, replace with 1 tbsp dark soy sauce and a little brown sugar to taste.

    Typically a Mexican or Tex-Mex breakfast dish this also makes a cracking supper. Feel free to experiment with what you add to your eggs: chorizo, black beans or pickled jalapeños go down a treat.

    Donal's raspberry & white chocolate brownies

    Melting white chocolate can be tricky. When it is in the bowl over a pan of just simmering water, don't stir it or it may well seize and go lumpy - leave it for 10 minutes and even though it won't look melted it will be fine.
