Cooking deelitefully

Welcome to  the deelitefull blog.  I am a cooking and nutrition coach based in Dublin, Ireland.   Food should both taste great and make you feel great. My experience of some healthy eating guides & books is that they can be a little worthy, bland and humourless. Eating should always be a pleasure both to the senses and to the soul. There is nothing worse than eating a meal and feeling like you need a crane to hoist you out of your chair but on the other hand there is nothing more dreary than a meal that is assessed purely on the reduced calories and fat grams it contains. So on this blog you can follow my search for delicious healthy recipes with soul.

Deelitefull adventures - 2010 annual

 Well I am still here, I  have had a very busy few months.  But that's no excuse for my absolutely shameful abandonment of my blog.
 Here are some highlights of a few things I have being doing since August.  
Jeez,  its being varied :  Cook and catch weekends with Stag parties,  wedding cupcakes,  Food styling, eaten my way around Cornwall,  a  wide variety of cooking classes and talks and I have included some pics of the food I have cooked.  

 NOTE TO SELF,  set some time aside for blogging in the New Year.  This blog posting is a detail low, picture heavy but promise more regular postings in the new year.

Cook and catch stag weekend-  Despite the weather and hangovers,  the boys caught all their own fish,  learnt how to prepare and cook their bounty and  then had a barbecued feast of mackerel, pollock and lobster:
Its always useful to have someone with surgery skills when dissecting a lobster!

 



 
Cupcake/Fairy cake wedding cake party -  Everyone got involved in icing and decorating the fairy cakes for the wedding cake.  There was swirly  white chocolate, rosewater and pistachios cakes or my favourite,  lemon meringue fairy cakes - yummo

















TAa-daah -  good work ladies












Some food styling with the lovely photographer Joanne Murphy


Check out her lovely blog -  That's our delish Dahl on the cover,  who would have thought you could make lentils look this good ;-)  Check out Easy Food Oct, Nov, Dec and Jan for some more of our work.

Here is some food I have cooked:  My problem with being a blogger and general greedy person ,  is that I often forget to photograph the finished recipe before I eat it  ;-) Anyway here is a selection starting with  Buttermilk pannacotta with roasted rhubarb and ginger.

  

























Healthy Breakfast sundae with homemade granola and berries and passion fruit:

Sticky lemon chicken with broccoli ,  green salad and meringue cake



Book club platters and dips

Egg mimosa

Scandi platter


Crudites with spicy aubergine dip

Leek and potato soup with chorizo and brown bread -  simple , cheap and delish




A very early morning visit to Billingsgate fish market in London -  very "friendly" fishmongers and some interesting fish.  









A visit to the WaftyBeetroot Pop up tapas and Ulysses reading ;-)
