Create with your hands
Create with your hands
Your daily bread should be nourishing and delicious, it should be wholesome and exciting, but most of all, easy and fun to make. The way I cook from scratch food, it’s easy and quick because as much as I love cooking, I don’t want to be cooking all day.
I love the moment you hold your produce in your hands and imagine all the dishes you can create from it. If you’ve been cooking from scratch food for long enough, you develop a sixth sense for knowing when something is ready. I often find myself already walking towards the oven right before the bell goes off without even realising. I’ve always relied heavily on my instinct while cooking, that is until my husband got interested in learning how to cook. He preferred to have detailed recipes, so I started to write down all the recipes for my dishes. Those same recipes I now want to share with more people.
So let’s create some delicious food together.
An Irish fry up in the morning and sitting down to a full plate of sausages, black pudding, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and beans on toast is the perfect start to any day. It will provide you with the energy you need, whether you are working in the garden, tending to animals or building your next DIY project.

Learn how to start your own sourdough starter. Creating your own sourdough starter from scratch is easier than you might think. All you need are two ingredients, flour and water.
