Eggs can make a really simple, tasty & healthy meal for your breakfast, lunch or supper.
For a tasty summer salad include salad leaves, new potatoes, green beans, red onion, olives, boiled egg and some tuna. Add a dressing of your choice and fresh crusty bread and have yourself a filling salad.
Poached egg and baked beans served on thick sliced toast makes a great brunch - you could serve it with grilled tomatoes or mushrooms.
Scrambled Eggs
2 large eggs
Pinch of salt and pepper
2 tablespoons milk for a softer result.
Low Calorie Cooking Spray
Gently beat the eggs together with salt and pepper & add milk. Spray some cooking spray in a non-stick pan over a medium heat. When sizzling, add the egg mixture and stir with a wooden spoon. Continue to stir the eggs for 1-2...

When out shopping - especially in ethnic food shops - I'm a demon for picking up new and unusual ingredients that I've no idea how to use. I just see something in Dublin's Asian Market, say, or - very especially - Middle Eastern shop Spiceland that looks interesting and, before I know it, it's in my basket and I'm thinking: "didn't I see a recipe for that somewhere recently?" Hence my food cupboards are filled with lots of things that keep getting pushed to the back and never used. Just a few of the unused items that are taking up space in the cupboard at the moment include:
Sheets of dried Apricots: for making Claudia Roden's Amardine desert
Miso paste: I like the idea of miso soup but, after the first experiment, not so much the reality...

The Boyfriend and I are about to head off to Morocco in a week's time so I thought I should use up my last year's supply of Moroccan spice blend Ras al hanout on a meal for the Writer - who brought me my first taste of spices from Morocco - and her husband. I decided to make my favourite Moroccan Lamb Tagine and, to accompany it, thought that I'd jazz up my usual plain couscous a little.
A lonely-looking squash in the fridge from the tail end of last season's shopping, tossed with some olive oil and spices (I used Ras al hanout but you could easily substitute a mixture of ground cumin, coriander and chilli powder) happily roasted in the oven alongside the tagine. While it tenderised and caramelised, I prepared the couscous, adding in some thinly sliced red onion (for tang), toasted...

There are seven members of the Bibliofemme bookclub and, every month, one of us hosts a meeting where we discuss the book distributed at the previous meeting. As I had picked the last book - Witi Ihimaera's The Whale Rider - all the Femmes were coming round to mine on Saturday and, in a change from our normal night-time get-together, we were meeting at 12pm. Normally we just have nibbles and wine - having taken a vow when the club started not to have anyone slaving over a hot stove - but I couldn't resist the chance to try out some brunch recipes. Although, having carelessly tossed off an invitation to brunch to six people (normally seven but the Artist couldn't make it back from London), those recipes seemed to be rather difficult to come by.
