Hey guys!

Summer is here and if you’re cooking up a storm during these sun filled months I have plenty of recipes to get you inspired. There is something particularly exciting about cooking at this time of year with so much produce to choose from.

From lazy breakfasts on sunny mornings to barbeque feasts with friends and family, the summer is made for easy eating. Check out the recipe section and some my recipe collections on the blog for plenty of ideas to make the most of Summer months!

Happy Summer!

Wood Fired Fennel Salmon, Roasted Veg & Lemon Aioli

July 14

Seeking out good quality fish from your local fishmongers is so worthwhile, and roasted in the oven with this fennel salt, it is simply delicious! Any leftovers of the aioli here will keep well in a jar in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Lemon & Oregano Chicken with Fennel Salad

July 04

The combination of fennel & orange is one that works wonderfully together, bitter and sweet and intensely fresh tasting. I would happily eat it by itself, but with thinly sliced onions and herbs like dill and mint but it really shines in my recipe for these lemon & oregano chicken thighs. I cook the thighs on the BBQ to give them deep smokey char marks and crispy skin. The marinade for the chicken is incredibly simple but highly effective- olive oil, lemon zest & orange zest and plenty of dried oregano!

Crispy Salami, Asparagus & Lemon Pasta

June 14

Inspired by family life and the need for quick, comfort food. This is a fairly uncomplicated dish that’s a midweek hug in a bowl.

Classic Chicken Caesar Salad

Often the test of a good cook, the humble caesar salad, done well, remains one my favourite things to make in the summer months. If I’m going to put in the effort, the dressing must be the classic and include anchovies for their salty bite, from there it is open to interpretation. Purists may balk at the idea of soft boiled eggs and charred chicken but for me they make it a generous summer meal and are essential.

Raspberry & White Chocolate Ricotta Pound Cake

A no fuss basic baking recipe to easily master which can be adapted with any fruit you might like to substitute. I particularly like the combination of raspberries and white chocolate here though, a combination I often add to muffins for sweet summery vibes.

Summer Suppers | DonalSkehan.com, Simple summer suppers are key to savouring the most of the season. Whether it’s a quick chicken dish cooked in the one frying pan, a speedy baked fish dinner or a tumble of vegetables roasted until tender with freshly cooked pasta tossed through, one pan cooking was made for the summer months. It’s a method I’ve thoroughly embraced as a father of two hungry little boys. Little effort and maximum results. Of course as any parent will attest, best made plans often end up on the floor, yet we must push forth and persist!
