Recipes created with Neasa Egan

Hi, I’m Neasa Egan. I’m a Home Economics teacher and author of the popular Home Economics recipe book Recipes for Life, which is used across schools in Ireland. I also have an Instagram page, @ComeDineOnline, where I share practical, classroom-tested recipes and teaching ideas designed for real school kitchens.

I helped develop these dairy recipes to be simple, healthy and genuinely enjoyable — the kind of food that works just as well in a busy classroom as it does at home.

Don’t forget to ask an adult to help you with cutting, the oven and of course, cleaning up!
