A note from Kevin
When Hellmann’s approached me and asked me to be involved with
the Hellmann’s dollop-a-day recipe book, I couldn’t say no, as I’m a real
advocate for tasty home cooking.

Many people add a dollop of mayonnaise to the side of their plates at
mealtimes, yet don’t realise how versatile an ingredient mayonnaise can
be. So to celebrate the limited edition O’Hellmann’s packaging we’ve
created some easy to follow, Irish inspired recipes that are perfect for
cooking for family and friends alike.

Relaxing at the dinner table over delicious food is something we all enjoy.
Fresh, delicious meals can be created with a minimum of time and fuss
once you have the right ingredients to hand. I’ve combined the best of Irish
ingredients, including ham, salmon and seafood with a dollop or two of
delicious Hellmann’s mayonnaise, rogha na hÉireann, in the cooking of all.

Whether you’re cooking Sunday dinner for the family, or entertaining
guests, these recipes are sure to go down a treat! Plus, it’s a nice twist to be
able to say they’re made with O’Hellmann’s!

I’ve created all of these recipes from
my kitchen at Dunbody House, which
is where the photography was shot as
well. All in all this book is a collection of
recipes I love eating and cooking, using
one key ingredient I use almost every
day. I hope you enjoy these recipes, as
Hellmann’s and I enjoyed creating them.
