Winter Warmers featured on Meadows and Byrne blog

Meadows and Byrne reached out to me last week to ask how to best get through the cold winter weather in Ireland at the moment. Luckily, I do not have this problem basking in the Sydney sunshine! However, I was back in Ireland over Christmas and know all too well how it feels to be snug by the fire and never want to leave! It is a season for rich, hot comfort foods for sure.

And Behind the Half Door is full to the brim of these! So I have rounded up my top 6 dishes in the book for Meadows and Byrne to keep their readers warm and satisfied. The dishes include:

ROSEMARY, RICOTTA + honeycomb HOTCAKES

SEAFOOD STEW with MA’S fluffy DUMPLINGS

best-ever LEMON SPAGHETTI

creamy CORN with CHEESE + POLENTA

Smokey Joe

Nell’s Apple Tart
