Darina Allen will be preparing a comforting winter menu to uplift the Covid gloom. How about a delicious heart warming Irish Scallion Champ Soup followed by a big pot of Ballymaloe Irish Stew, an irresistible meal in one pot - a virtual hug on a plate. Wait until you try my Spotted Dog and Butter pudding - it's the way to everyone's heart. Why not recreate it yourself on St Patrick's Day -  it would be an absolute feast.
