Home sweet home

BY NOW, I hope you have had time to tune in to my lovely daughter-in-law Rachel’s Favourite Food at Home on Wednesdays at 7.30pm on RTÉ 1.

Rachel’s recipes are easy and delicious and the book that accompanies the series has a great mix of international and ethnic recipes, classic regional fare and good old-fashioned family favourites such as macaroni cheese, homemade sausages and banana butterscotch pudding.

The 10 chapters are enticingly titled Easy Family Food, Sweet Celebrations, Picnics and Days Out, Food for Children, Extended Family, Dining Alfresco, Home Cinema, Big Celebrations, Edible Gifts and Just like Mum Used To Make.
