Pomegranate and Elderflower Soft Drink Recipe
A few years ago, I remember visiting Marrakech (Morocco) and seeing a lot of pomegranates sold on wooden tables on the sides of the roads or beside gardens and other beautiful places to visit. They were cut in half and carefully wrapped in clingfilm so you could take one away to eat while walking the streets of this busy North African city. I also remember not buying any as it was very hot (despite the fact it was Winter there) and I could imagine the mess it would create trying to scoop out the juicy little seeds with my fingers in the middle of a crowded street.
But once you get to have it in your own kitchen and can use a spoon, what a wonderful fruit it is! I love eating pomegranate seeds in salads, they are so perfect for it with their tangy and sweet flavour. They are also wonderful with desserts or just plain and coated in dark chocolate.
And now, imagine how refreshing it is in a lovely soft drink when Ireland is giving us amazing days of heat and sunshine!

Peach, Pistachio and Lime Galette Recipe
The Summer we had all been waiting for is finally here! And it all happened in one go. It seems we are getting a little 'heat wave' in Ireland, it feels quite unreal! Well, I guess that for a lot of people in this lovely country it is unreal. For me, it feels lovely, warm and comfortable. You see, I have lived in countries where a heat wave is closer to 40ºC than just mid-twenty to late twenty degrees celsius (and for some parts the heat wave would be accompanied by giant moths and enormous fruit bats, yikes!; that is obviously Australia, not France...).
But I am not saying I don't enjoy this amazing weather fully! I want to take it all in and keep some of it in a little secret reserve so I can use it when times are grey and dull again.
And what better way to take it all in than eating a lot of beautiful stone fruits! Cherries, peaches, apricots, nectarines... So flavoursome and concentrated with sunshine.
