Ray cooks for neven on home chef

This week on Neven Maguire:Home Chef, Neven visits friend and fellow foodie Ray D'Arcy to watch him prepare a prawn curry. Neven likes being interviewed by Ray because Ray is interested in, and very knowledgable about food and cooking, and this makes their chats and cooking sessions very enjoyable for Neven.

In this third programme Neven prepares Hake with a Herb Crust, and  Baked Eggs.

The emphasis in this series is on quick, family-friendly dishes rather than the more complex, restaurant-style recipes of his previous series.

'Before we had children, Amelda and I would grab something to eat at the end of a busy night in the restaurant.  Now, we try to eat as a family and that has changed the way I cook at home,” says Neven. 

The recipes in the new series can all be made in under half an hour, and in most cases  less, and I understand that speed is important.

“I always buy food with the Quality Mark as I know it has been produced to the highest Bord Bia standards from the farm right through to the table. Also before they can use the Quality Mark,  all farms and food premises are inspected against the quality standards and passed.

Therefore you can feel good about what you are feeding your family.”
