Meet Meg
Food has been at the heart of my life for over thirty years.
After training at Ballymaloe Cookery School, I've worked in professional kitchens, run a successful gastro pub, cooked privately for families, written cookbooks, taught cookery and developed recipes.
Today I cook from my kitchen in beautiful Dalavich, creating food that celebrates the seasons and brings people together around the table.
Whether I'm preparing Heat & Eat meals, developing recipes or teaching others to cook, my aim is always the same...
To make delicious food feel achievable, comforting and worth sharing.

Featured Recipe - Thai Coconut Crab Rice
Delicate white crab meat is lifted with fresh, zingy Thai flavours and served over fragrant coconut and lemongrass rice. Quick enough for a midweek supper, yet wonderfully indulgent.
