Kate Wright from Galway Cookery School will be our resident chef at the 50 Plus Show, Cork
Kate’s Apple Crumble
Here are just some of the recipes Kate will be cooking up on the 13th September
- Brown Fruit and Seed Bread Loaf
This bread loaf is healthy, filling and delicious served with sweet jam or savoury ham and cheese. A must have for anyone with diabetes or problems with the gut. Mix up the fillings with any nuts, seeds or dried fruits of your choice.
- Smoothie
Smoothies are a fantastic way to pack a huge amount of nutrition into one drink. You can even add oats for some carbohydrate and slow energy release. They are extremely versatile as you can add any fruits (or even some vegetables) you like. Another popular ingredient is peanut butter, not only does it give the smoothie a beautiful nutty undertone but it also adds an extra boost of protein.
- Houmous
A dish of Arab origin, houmous is a very versatile spread that can be eaten plain or dressed up with different additives such as pistachios, roasted beetroot, red pepper paste, peanuts, carrots or pumpkin. What’s more, it couldn’t be easier to prepare!
- Kate’s BASIL Pesto
Pesto is an easy way to add flavour and nutrients to a wide variety of dishes. Integrate into sandwiches, pastas, salads, pizzas or even potatoes for an unbeatable Italian essence. Store in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for two or three months. Note, don’t add the parmesan until defrosted for the best result.
- Kate’s Tomato Sauce
Tomato sauce is a staple for every kitchen. Store in the fridge and have it ready to serve with fresh pasta, baked potatoes, with pizza or lasagne or as a topping for aubergine rolls.
- Cheddar Scones
Cheddar scones are a great savoury and healthy alternative to the traditional sweet scone. Easy to pack and bring as a snack or to pair with something light like a salad, the cheddar scone is a flavourful, ‘handy’ carbohydrate.
- Kate’s Apple Crumble
It’s that time of year again, the apples are in season and what better as the evenings get shorter and colder than a cup of tea and a healthy helping of apple crumble and cream. I don’t think I need to say much more to sell you on whipping up this quick, easy, mouth-watering dessert.
- Courgette, Almond and Mint Soup with Lentils
Mix up your cooking repertoire with this unique soup, delicious served both hot and cold. Light and nutritious it is a great way to start a meal and just in time for Autumn the almonds and lentils offer a beautiful earthy, nutty flavour while the mint finishes this dish off with a kick.
