Dáithí Ó Sé was the chef on RTÉ's The Restaurant last week, and for dessert, he made this chocolate biscuit cake. It is his mother's recipe and it is quite luscious. Dáithí Ó Sé has become increasingly popular in the Irish media, and it turns out that he isn't half ...

This is a really interesting way of cooking chicken. This is an adapted Jamie Oliver recipe but I'm unsure as to whether it is his own recipe or one developed by some guys looking for a different way to cook chicken on the barbeque. This also cooks perfectly in the oven. ...

My mother, Bernie, always had a batch of buns at the ready for any callers and rarely did anyone leave her kitchen without a cup of tea to accompany one. In my own kitchen, I almost always have a few buns in the press. I made these buns with each group of students I taught ...
