Like many of us, life has thrown a fair few curveballs Donal’s way, from juggling two toddlers and an overseas house move, it’s fair to say that there is never a dull moment in the Skehan household! He has also found himself seeking solace in his kitchen more than ever. Since returning to Ireland and being closer to his family, Donal recognises the necessity of the essential recipes that make a home kitchen tick, the classic dishes he comes back to time and time again for comfort and security.

Donal’s Family Kitchen is a series that celebrates these moments and provides a blueprint of recipes allowing you to manage the madness life throws at you AND get a supper to the table that everyone wants to devour. Recipes that don’t require long lists of ingredients, dishes that don’t leave a mountain of washing-up and time-saving tricks that bring seriously great flavour to the table are the most important part of making everyday favourites with ease.

Simple, tasty food that works for busy days and lazy long weekends. One pan meals that limit the washing up and sweet treats for special occasions or simply just because!
