Chilli Con Carne

29 January 2010

I really love one-pot dishes and especially ones that taste better on the day after they are cooked. This is definitely the case with chilli con carne, as the flavours in the sauce tend to develop when left refrigerated for a day. This sauce also freezes well. The quantity below ...

Multi-Seed Brown Bread

22 January 2010

As I mentioned, I'm expecting my fourth child in March and I have found this pregnancy much tougher than any of the others. I'm not sure if this because it is my fourth or maybe I'm carrying a girl! Either way, I'm completely drained and seem to have every pregnancy-related ...

Blueberry Bliss

For such a small fruit, blueberries pack a powerful health punch. According to recent research, they beat forty other fruit and vegetables on nutrients levels. They provide a high concentration of antioxidants, and what’s more, they may help to fight infections, boost memory ...

I decided to start this blog as I really love to cook and over the past few years I have tried out so many different dishes. I am constantly being asked by friends and family for different recipes, so I thought a blog would be an easy way to share recipes with others. I live with my husband, Diarmuid, and three boys: Jack (7), Tiarnán (4), and Fionn (2). I am expecting my 4th child in March. My Dad also lives with us and during the holidays we have a very special man, who we love very much, called Nicholas, who comes to stay (Nick has Cerebral Palsy and my parents had fostered him as a child. Now, he spends his holiday time between my sister, Fiona, and me). All in all a busy household with many different nutritional needs, likes and dislikes.

I qualified as a nurse at St James's Hospital in 2000. Following that, I completed a Bachelor of Nursing Degree at Trinity College Dublin. I worked in many different areas from A&E to paediatrics. I worked for 2 years as a practice nurse at a local medical centre.

After the birth of Fionn in 2007, I decided to start cookery classes for children in my kitchen and Killachonna Cookery School was established. The classes have been a wonderful success and last summer due to the increasing demand I ran my classes from the local secondary school home economics room.

Even though I am not a professionally qualified chef I have been lucky enough to attend the Ballymaloe Cookery School on a number of occasions and participate in many different short courses. It is always a wonderful experience and each time I leave with some extra knowledge and many recipes to try out.

Through this blog, I would like to share some recipes that have been a success for me with my family and with my students who have been as young as six.

That's all for now. Nessa.
