Aoife McElwain works in front of the camera writing the recipes and styling the food, while Mark Duggan works behind the camera to make sure it all looks as delicious as possible. We work with editors such as Killian Broderick and music supervisors like Nialler9 to make sure that our finished videos look and sound as smart as possible. We work with brands like Glenisk and Folláin to help them create delicious video content for their online platforms. When we're not making videos, we write a weekly column called Speedy Suppers on Thursdays in The Irish Independent. Aoife writes the recipes and styles the food while Mark takes the photographs.

Posted at 22:02h in lunch, recipes, supper, vegetarian by

This week’s pea platter makes a great accompaniment to a lamb salad but also holds its own on a lunch table. If you can find fresh peas, even better.

pea + feta salad

100g feta

Large handful fresh mint, finely chopped

For the dressing

3 tablespoons of olive oil

1 tablespoon of runny honey

Juice of half a lemon

Salt

  1. Cook the frozen peas in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and place the peas in iced water, so that they retain their bright green colour.
  1. Transfer the peas to a platter. Crumble the feta over the peas. Scatter with the freshly chopped mint.
