Clodagh: Cooking at Home

Irish chef and author Clodagh McKenna demonstrates the recipes that she loves to cook, beginning with four of her favourite one-pan dishes . She makes broccoli salmon noodles and an all-in-one spicy sausage pasta, and shares the tricks to make her pear, thyme and brie tart. She then picks greens from the garden to go in a big warming pot of walled garden soup that she makes in her pickling shed to share with her husband Harry Herbert.

Clodagh's throwing a big gathering for friends and family with a super easy menu. There's delicious dip, crowd-pleasing chilli and a showstopping tarte Tatin.

Clodagh McKenna shares her strategy for throwing a perfect fuss-free dinner party, beginning with shortcut cacio e pepe cheese straws to welcome the guests. There is a quick and impressive French classic chicken fricassée for the main course, a make-ahead pistachio tiramisu for dessert and fresh mint tea to end the evening. Her blueprint includes a stunning table setting where the trick is keeping things simple.
