Bought one too many Easter eggs? Use the leftover choc in Rachel Allen’s divine cake, biscuit creation or raspberry cheesecake brownies

6 days ago | independent.ie | Rachel Allen

The cake is rich, slightly fudgy and completely divine. It has just a little bit of flour in it but can also be gluten-free, made with ground almonds instead. It works best with dark chocolate, or a mixture of dark and milk chocolate, and can be decorated with edible flowers, mini eggs or whatever you fancy.

You’d be a fool not to try Rachel Allen’s easy, creamy, fruity dessert recipe with crunchy shortbreads

3 weeks ago | independent.ie | Rachel Allen

The great fool is so versatile, at this time of the year it’s rhubarb that often finds its way into the soft, light and creamy dish, but as soon as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries start to appear, they’ll be playing starring roles too. The rhubarb fool is such a lovely springtime dessert that just loves, as all fools do, being served with a crumbly and buttery shortbread biscuit on the side.

This spring chicken recipe is a fresher take on a winter classic, with the addition of lemon, peas and mint. You can joint your own chicken if you like, or if you prefer you can use just chicken thighs, or a mixture of legs and fillets.

Mamma mia! Get tastebuds salivating with Rachel Allen’s veggie, smoked mackerel or chorizo frittata recipes

1 month ago | independent.ie | Rachel Allen

Hailing from Italy, a frittata is a thick flat omelette, similar to the Spanish tortilla in shape, and not rolled or folded as a French omelette is. It can be served hot, warm or at room temperature. In the summertime, I love to add in roasted cherry tomatoes with lots of fresh basil, or sauteed courgettes, mint and goat’s cheese, or perhaps broad beans with marjoram and feta. A great way of getting lots of extra goodness into a frittata is by adding some green leafy kale.
Don’t wait until Friday to try Rachel Allen’s delicious fish recipes, from a South Indian curry to a gratin-style dish or simply baked with herb butter

2 months ago | independent.ie | Rachel Allen

I love the South Indian-inspired fish curry recipe that uses round fish. The brilliant yellow of turmeric makes this golden curry look like sunshine on the plate. Like all dishes that use chilli, the level of heat is really up to you. If you’d like it hotter, you can use the whole chilli with all of the seeds, and not deseed it. Or if you’d like it particularly mild, you can leave it out altogether.
Make the most of parsnip season with Rachel Allen’s delicious and warming soup, sides and coconut curry recipes

2 months ago | independent.ie | Rachel Allen

The soup uses parsnips and the last of the winter leeks for a satisfying and delicious combination. It freezes perfectly and is great, if you wish, with a little curry powder added in to the vegetables at the beginning. The parsnip crisps are a lovely and crunchy, yet not essential, accompaniment.
