More glorious weather and we’re still talking about it. It has been a very long time since I walked bare foot on the sand and felt such heat on a beach in Ireland. Everyone is enjoying the weather and being able to eat outdoors amongst the colourful summer blooms has been such a treat and when shared with family makes it all more memorable. Fresh food from the markets, fresh country air, sunshine and family… what more could one ask for!
Sláinte,
Moya 🙂

Parsnip and Hazlenut Cake with Crystalized Ginger and Cinnamon... for the #foodandtoolsuseyourcookbookclub
.
.
On family visits to Ireland and when in Dublin, love to visit the Avoca Cafe which also includes a mini department store...almost never leaving empty-handed.
.
.
The “A Year at Avoca Cookbook” by Simone Pratt was a purchase on one of those visits. The cookbook is a celebration of the cafe’s seasonal recipes and although I’ve cooked other lovely recipes from this cookbook, only now trying out this cake with parsnips. Wanted to include hazelnuts in the recipe so swapped them with the walnuts. The cake was not as moist as a carrot cake and the ginger more apparent in flavor than the parsnips. Although we enjoyed this cake, glad I tried the recipe but... carrot cake still wins.

Creamy Parsnip and Apple Soup is my entry for this months #foodandtoolsUseYourCookbookClub
.
The recipe is from the cookbook, Soup for Syria. This delightful cookbook contains soup only recipes from around the world by various chefs and cookbook authors. Also, profits from the sale of this cookbook help fund food relief efforts for the Syrian refugees, a worthy cause. .
A Velvety smooth soup that combines parsnips and apples with ingredients such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cider and cream. This soup tastes really lovely and the combination of ingredients blend perfectly together.
With the festive season almost upon us, thought it a perfect time to try this recipe and one I will happily serve. .
You still have until the 25th to post your dish choosing either parsnips or hazelnuts as an ingredient. .
