About
| These indulgent muffins are perfect for the festive season. They've been created by Carol Kearns of The Art of Baking in a development of her wholesome but delicious Naked Barley Breakfast Muffin recipe, a transformation she describes along with a fashion tip for the Hodmedod team. |
Remember those magazine articles that described how you could seamlessly move from day-time office wear to evening glamour with just the addition of a pair of sparkling earrings and a brighter shade of lipstick? [Needless to say Nick, Josiah, William and the rest of the Hodmedod team will be taking this fashion tip on board.]
Well, this is the baking equivalent - taking the delicious Naked Barley Breakfast Muffin recipe and turning it into something altogether more decadent with addition of a little alcohol. These Amaretto & Prune Muffins are perhaps not for breakfast but they're perfect at any other time of the day – and with all the superb flavour, texture and nutrition of naked barley flakes.

These traditional potato cakes are named “farls” from the Gaelic word fardel, meaning quarter. A central part of an Ulster fry, farls are popular across Northern Ireland. Making them at home is simple and requires minimal ingredients: some left-over mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and just enough flour to bind.
This simple and naturally sweet recipe is a delicious and nourishing alternative to traditional grain-based granola. Packed with crunch from brazil nuts, seeds, and flaked almonds, it’s full of healthy fats, fibre and plant protein - perfect for a sustaining breakfast or snack. The chia fruit compote adds a bright, jammy contrast, thickened naturally with chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
Orfhlaith Noone's addition of Guinness to Irish soda bread give it a modern twist, lending a deep, malty flavour to the loaf. This bread is the perfect accompaniment to hearty Irish dishes like seafood chowders, beef stews, soups, or simply with a smear of salted butter - Irish only, please!
