KHATTI MACCHLI

This dish made from red snapper, is a prime example of his use of spices and flavourings. It's from Calcutta, which is where he started his cooking career. A good supermarket should have all of these ingredients, but one of Dublin's Asian markets would be a one-stop shop.   More>>

Traditional Bolognese Sauce

Roberto Morsiani is a master chef from Bologna, the city that gave its name to the meat sauce that goes on spaghetti. Chances are, what you know in Ireland as ‘spag bol' bears very little relation to the real thing. Bolognese sauce is a meat sauce with a touch of tomato, not a tomato sauce with some mince chucked in. Roberto's recipe below would feed from six to eight people. Allow about 150g of spaghetti or tagliatelle per person. You can taste Roberto's recipe at Janet's Coffee House in Dun Laoghaire, but only during the day.

Braised Guinea Fowl with wild mushrooms and bacon.

When I asked Barry to pick a recipe for us he answered: ‘My love for so many different foods, from all over the world, leaves me with somewhat of a dilemma when asked to select a favourite recipe. I love this dish because it's real comfort food, especially coming into the colder, darker days. Very different from the type of fine cuisine we serve daily at the Oriel, it's a beautiful, rich, rustic dish and very easy to produce. Try some fresh homemade tagliatelle or linguini with heaps of grated Parmesan to accompany it.'

ONE POT CHICKEN WITH LENTILS, RAISINS AND GRAIN MUSTARD BROTH

This is my favourite type of cooking – deeply satisfying, easy and with very little washing up. Saturday afternoons seem to be the only time we eat at home these days. We have the morning off, we get the papers – head straight to the food supplement, then cook and eat in silence thinking about the night ahead. If we're lucky we get a snooze, shower and head into work. The wonderful thing is that this dish couldn't be easier. Really it should be cooked in the oven after being brought up to a simmer but I appreciate not all ovens will take this large a pan so I've given both options.   More>>
