When you are choosing potatoes for a recipe, remember that waxy potatoes and baby new potatoes are excellent for salads; large Kerr's Pinks or Golden Wonders are good for baking and Maris Pipers are the potato of choice by chefs for the best mashed potatoes.

What's on Greatfood.ie
Back to School This time of year, when children are going back to school, is perfect for parents to make new term resolutions. With growing concern over obesity as well as toxic chemicals and additives in food and their link to food related disorders such as allergies, hyperactivity and ADHD, this is the ideal time to consider what exactly is being fed to your children and to introduce healthy whole foods into their diet.
Paula Mee: Healthy breakfasts for children 'It's back to school time again, and we have all the usual chaos that goes with it – getting uniforms ready, making sure books are covered, preparing lunchboxes and getting everyone out in the morning in one piece – hopefully with some breakfast inside them!' says nutritionist Paula Mee who offers her advice to busy mums and dads.
