Oat pancakes with pear for pancake Tuesday
by Dorcas Barry

Quite a few years ago, I discovered that I could no longer eat wheat. For someone who not only has a sweet tooth but who also loves to bake, this felt like a disaster. But, bit by bit over the years I have sourced ingredients and recipes, tested lots of different ways of cooking with these ingredients and am so delighted that I can now still enjoy equally delicious cakes, biscuits and especially pancakes. Pancakes are special, the weekend breakfast that everyone shares together, the arguments for the…

Roast Pesto Cod with Chorizo and Tomatoes

Roast Pesto Cod with Chorizo and Tomatoes

This is a quick and easy family dish. The cod can be easily replaced with any white chunky fish and you can choose any selection of tomatoes.

My favourite is a mix of cherry or vine tomatoes whole, mixed with some plum tomatoes cut into quarters.

The chorizo is used as a background flavouring.

Try to get it without preservatives or additives.

To make this dish even more convenient, you could also use good-quality frozen cod fillets. In this case, the cooking time would need to be extended by 10 minutes approximately.…

Go Nutz about Nuts

Don’t worry about weight gain; you can go nuts with nuts

Some people avoid nuts because they think of them as fattening. But while it may not be your best idea to shovel in cheap, heavily salted peanuts while knocking back a beer at the local bar, adding organic nuts into what you eat provides great health benefits. Eating nuts can actually help you lose weight because they are so filling.

The more I dig down into what foods are good for us and how great different foods are, the more I realise why it is so good to…

Eating right for Sports and Mental health by Nutritionist Oliver McCabe Select Stores Dalkey

Carbohydrates should make up the major part of your diet, accounting for two-thirds of the calories you consume.
The type of carbohydrate is as important as the amount. Some carbohydrates, such as sugar, are ‘fast releasing’, which means they raise your blood sugar levels quickly. This leads to a sudden boost of energy and after a massive energy slump too, not great for studying or training.
Others, such as oats, are ‘slow releasing’. This leads to longer bouts of energy and memory.

Knock the socks off ACNE by Oliver McCabe
WHAT IS ACNE?

Acne is a common skin problem affecting most adolescents. Acne is the formation of spots as a result of obstruction and inflammation of open skin pores. Acne is a condition which affects mainly the face, back and chest. It shows up as blackheads, whiteheads, inflamed pus-filled spots and redness due to inflammation. Adolescent boys rather than girls have more serious acne due to the amount of male hormones testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body which increases at puberty and triggers the production of sebum and keratin.…
