My Vegan At The Merrion Hotel Collaboration Favourites
One of my proudest collaborations was working with head chef Ed Cooney at Ireland’s 5-Star Merrion Hotel to create a dedicated vegan menu, recognised by Vogue.com and National Geographic as one of Dublin’s best vegan offerings. What began as a trial in 2019 has since become a staple throughout the hotel, and I’m excited to share some of my favourite creations and the journey behind them.
Crunchy Thai Vegetable and Noodle Salad
This crunchy, refreshing salad is a summer staple, perfect for serving with tofu or making ahead for a few days of meals. Full of vibrant colours, it makes a stunning centrepiece for entertaining. The dressing brings the perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and savoury, proving just how delicious healthy food can be.
Vegan Falafel with Tahini Dressing
Falafel is one of the most versatile foods around. It’s perfect for lunch or dinner, and mini falafels make ideal canapés or snacks. A well-made falafel is simple, affordable, and buying dried chickpeas in bulk makes it even more cost-effective.
Double Chocolate cake with Coconut cream and chocolate layer Frosting
This double chocolate cake is perfect for Easter! It’s gluten-free, vegan, and incredibly moist and delicious. The rich chocolate and creamy coconut icing are a heavenly combination, and the cake looks beautiful too. You can bake it a day ahead and store it in the fridge, but for best results, ice it just before serving.
Coconut Milk Chocolate truffles
I love chocolate, but traditional varieties don't always work for me. Fortunately, it's easy to create a vegan option, and these truffles are simply delightful!
Cauliflower steaks with roasted red pepper & olive salsa*
Whether you're a vegetarian looking for a healthy alternative or just wanting to try something new, this cauliflower steak is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
Sweet potato and coconut stew with Kale and Lentils*
In January I find myself turning to comforting dishes filled with nourishing flavours and heat. This stew is warming and hearty and filled with goodness. The blend of spices and the creamy Frontier Foods Coconut milk combined with the natural sweetness of the sweet potato is so satisfying. I love bowls of it cozied up on the couch on cold Winter evenings.
My Essential Social Tips For Transitioning To A Vegan Diet
In 2013, Beyoncé and Jay-Z went vegan for 22 days, inspired by the idea that it takes 21 days to change a habit. Beyoncé emphasised the importance of a plant-based diet, stating that people should prioritise self-love by making healthier food choices and practicing good nutrition.
Chickpea, Courgette and Spinach Curry*
Coming into the colder months I turn to warming curries and casserole style dishes. Full of nourishment and flavour this chickpea, courgette and Spinach curry is a firm favourite.

Nothing beats the gorgeous smell of fresh baking and while I was testing these muffins my house literally smelled like heaven. I adore these any time of day.

Miso Aubergines with Red Pepper Hummus*
Miso Aubergine is one of the easiest and most delicious main courses I know. The sauce strikes a perfect balance of savoury miso, tangy rice vinegar, and sweet maple syrup. I enjoy it hot or cold straight from the fridge, so I recommend making a double batch!

Tahini Dressing, my go-to recipe *
Tahini a sesame paste that’s rich in calcium and one of my cupboard staples I use a lot for dips and dressings. This is such a gorgeous creamy dressing that works for so many tasty dishes. Dressing simple salad leaves, dipping sweet potato wedges into or pouring over roasted vegetables.
