How to make glazed baby turnips and garden peas with basil cream sauce. The transitional period from summer to autumn in Ireland offers an array of exciting and vibrant ingredients. There’s leafy greens and freshness but also some heartier root vegetables hitting shelves. I wanted to create something that was vibrant and celebratory of the season that we’re currently in. This makes a wonderful side dish or a veg-focused main to share.

This is my famous recipe or honey-glazed rainbow carrots with ricotta, pistachio, chilli & orange. As you can imagine, it’s big on flavour. This elevates any roast dinner or family-style get-together. Roasting the vegetables this way brings out a lovely level of sweetness and a natural nuttiness and the accompaniments hit every flavour mark.
