Recipe for Nettle Tea

JUST last week I overheard a conversation of two young mums who had children’s birthday parties looming. This year one of them had decided to cook a few goodies herself – she would make chocolate rice krispies and maybe a few fairy cakes, but wondered what else she could try herself.

Recipe for Aunty Pam’s Krispie Buns or Mini Rice Krispie Cakes

We all love cupcakes, kids, mums, grans, aunties…this delicious recipe was given to me by Corrie Armstrong, originally a student at Ballymaloe Cookery School and now one of our teachers.

I LOVE when another new Irish cookbook lands on my desk and this one is good news for the many Fishy Fishy fans.

Ingredients:

To mark the first Grandmother’s Day the Irish Examiner invited readers to send in their favourite recipe taught to them by their grandmother. The eight winners spent last Saturday cooking their dishes with Darina Allen at Ballymaloe House.

Alison Henderson shared this delicious recipe with us.
