Hemsley & Hemsley: Six Essential Ingredients for Any Kitchen

Sisters, food bloggers and cookbook authors Melissa and Jasmine Hemsley visited Fallon & Byrne with us to tell us what their kitchen must-haves are. Healthy eating can get a bad rap sometimes – when the emphasis is put on bags of chia seeds and psyllium husks, or expensive gadgets and forsaking entire food groups, things seem pretty unattainable. So when you hear that the Hemsley sisters – Jasmine and Melissa - Jasmine being the elder of the two – introduced courgetti (that’s spaghetti made of courgettes) to the masses, you might assume their brand of healthful eating is full of unpronounceable ingredients. Happily, that isn’t the case. The pair have a second cookbook out this month (Good and Simple, published by Ebury Press), the follow-up to the massively successful The Art of Eating Well.
