Perfect for using up any remaining slices after a Halloween party, the richness and spiciness of the barm brack is just lovely with creamy Glenilen live yoghurt. The damsons with a dash of blackcurrant give a welcome tart juiciness to the affair. Cook the barm brack well in advance, keep it warm in the oven and make up the plates just before serving. If you cannot find fresh damsons, use frozen ones for the compote. Plums and raspberries (fresh or frozen) will do very nicely also, as would tart apples keeping perfectly in tune with the season.

A fun, messy-but-nice thing to do with the kids during the holidays, these rich mouthfuls end up tasting a little like Christmas pudding! I remember the chocolate truffles of my childhood all being made from cake crumbs and these brought me right back. Inside, the tamarind adds a welcome note of sourness while the chocolate smooths everything along. You could also cover them in melted chocolate or chocolate shavings for a little extra poshness.

These Carlow chicken wings are juicy and satisfying enough to serve 2 or 3 per person with a good salad and rice or pasta alongside, for a quick and thrifty weekday supper. The speedy little marinade is a great way to use up the ends of marmalade jars and aging grain mustard before you restock with a lovely little pot from Dalkey! Gauge the saltiness depending on how strong the soy sauce is you are using and add chilli or garlic if you want to add even more oomph.
