Neven Maguire's Irish Tea Bread

This keeps very well wrapped in clingfilm and tin foil, of course the leftover can be made into bread and butter puddings with a dash of Baileys or even just a simple French toast works well!

Three Super Smoothies from Donal Skehan

Smoothies are a great way to get that burst of vitamins you need in the morning, especially when using superfoods like kale (balanced here with zingy lime juice). Frozen fruit smoo-thies are great for kids, as the vibrant colours look super-appealing. Other fantastic smoo-thie ingredients include almond butter for added richness and oats to help fill you up for the day.

Lamb Koftas: Rory O'Connell

Rory Says: "I like to roll these into little balls the size of a large grape. They can, of course, be made bigger into burger or sausage shapes. Serve these strewn over a salad of purslane leaves with a yogurt dressing."

Coconut Macaroons: Donal Skehan

Crunchy on the outside and chewy in the middle, a good coconut macaroon is an irresistible thing. They are also suitable for freezing. To pimp them up, dip or drizzle the baked macaroons with melted dark chocolate.

Pomegranate Molasses Chicken with Roasted Vegetable Bulgur Salad

Pomegranate Molasses Chicken, Bulgur Salad: Skehan

Roast chicken in any guise tends to grab my attention and this ruby red, glistening one is rather easy to prepare. If you haven’t used pomegranate molassses before it is a worthwhile store cupboard ingredient. I use it mainly in beetroot hummus, where it adds both sweet and slightly sour notes, but it is its thick treacle-like consistency that makes it an ideal glaze for meats, particularly chicken.

Tiger's Milk Sea Bass Ceviche with Quinoa Salad

Sea Bass Ceviche with Quinoa Salad: Donal Skehan

The idea of fish marinated in fruit juice might seem like an odd combination but ceviche is having a moment, and rightly so. A fresh and vibrant traditional recipe from South America, it relies on the acidity of lime to cure the fish and infuse it with intense flavour.With only a handful of ingredients, the results are fairly impressive.

Barmbrack Parfit with Whiskey Prunes

This is a very smart dessert that everyone will think you’ve spent ages making. Of course you can spike the prunes with any alcohol but I love the combination of prunes with Irish whiskey.

Grilled Fish with Herb Relish: Rory O'Connell

This way of cooking fish is perceived as being rather old fashioned, but if you have a really fresh fish, it can be fabulous and quite contemporary in its simplicity. Hake, cod, ling and mackerel are all delicious cooked in this way. The relish served here is classic, and when properly prepared, it will remind you why herbs, butter and lemon will always have a place at the table when fresh fish is being served.

Grilled Pork Burger with Fennel and Pistachios

These burgers are sweet and delicious. Belly or shoulder of pork is best here as you are generally guaranteed a decent amount of fat from those two cuts, and fat is essential for a good burger. If the meat you are using is too lean the burgers will be dry, hard and lacking in flavour. The other crucial point to remember for any kind of minced meat dish is that the mince needs to be really fresh, so minced on the same day you are going to cook and eat them. Minced meat deteriorates faster than any other prepared meat, …

A Salad of Hard Boiled Eggs with Mayonnaise...

If you do not use all of the chorizo-flavoured oil on the salad, keep it covered in the fridge and use it for frying cooked potatoes or roasting vegetables at a later time. The chilled oil will keep perfectly chilled for several weeks.

Raspberry Fool with Vanilla Shortbread

This is one of those recipes that somehow is greater than the sum of its parts. Raspberries, sugar and cream - three easy to source ingredients that produce a rich and luscious result. When available and in season, I use fresh raspberries. However this is excellent made with frozen berries and I have not quite decided yet if it is not actually better made with the frozen fruit. Soft fruit becomes tarter when frozen and this seems to accentuate the flavour when the fool is made with the frozen berries. Serve vanilla shortbread biscuit with the fool. If you have …

Braised Beef Short Ribs with Red Wine

If you've never had beef short ribs before, you're missing out on one of life's great pleasures. Beef short ribs should be so tender that the meat almost falls off the bone with a fork. Serve them with soft Parmesan polenta as suggested here, or they are also delicious with creamy mashed potatoes.
