It fills you up for the day!
Grainne,
Amazing as per usual – my mouth waters every time I click on these pages & the food styling and photography is just beautiful (the tarts from belle Isle were even more lovely than I remember). Look forward to each new post !

Thanks Leona, so nice to hear from you. As soon as our babysitter back from Hols, Dom and I will drop in to Glasthule to sample some of your lovely desserts. X
That’s tomorrow’s breakfast sorted so!! 🙂
Yes yum!
Looks tasty, do you leave the skin on the sweet potato when you boil them?
Thanks, it is really lovely. When boiling I peel them, When roasting, I scrub them really well, cut off any unsightly bits and leave the skin on. It gives more of a crispy edge to them.
Hi there, what is pimenton, can u get it in the grocery shops, will the recipe work without it.?
Hi There, Sorry it is paprika and you can get it. The recipe will be nice without it, but delicious with it. There is a sweet and smoky one, you should try both and see which you prefer as they arent too costly. Thanks for emailing.grainne
