For a city girl, getting out into the countryside is something I just don’t do enough. It’s true, I own a pair of wellies. But their outings are often limited to the annual trip to The Electric Picnic. So when I was invited down to Kinnitty Castle Hotel for a spot of mushroom foraging led by […]
Sunday fog lifting from Dingle harbour Dingle is a very special place. Magical, some might even say. I’d take any excuse to visit, and last weekend I had the wonderful opportunity of being a judge at the Blas na hEireann food awards at the Dingle Food Festival. The Dingle Food Festival is easily the best food festival I’ve […]
Berlin breakfast Seeking out good places to eat in a new city isn’t just a way to fill your belly with yummy things while on holiday. Travelling around trying to find delicious eateries can be a great way to discover hidden parts of a city as well. That’s my excuse, anyway. Myself and Niall were […]
The Butcher’s Board in The Eastern Seaboard, Drogheda. Ah. Maze. Ing. Ever thought starting a food blog would turn out to be a great way to see a country? Nah. Me, neither. Turns out having a food blog, or even just an interest in food, can lead one on travels near and far, in search […]

Catalan Cream a la Cal Pep I wasn’t planning on posting about our eats in Barcelona, which we visited a few weeks back. In truth, most of our time in Gaudi’s canvas-of-a-city was spent either living it up at Primavera Sound festival. And when we weren’t doing that, we were recovering on the beach. However, […]
Ok, well, it’s not really a bonanza as such, but I do have one pair of tickets to give away for this year’s Bloom In The Park. Taking place in Phoenix Park on the June Bank Holiday weekend from Thursday the 2nd and Monday the 6th of June from 10am to 6pm daily, this year […]
Veal cannelloni at The Tannery, Dungarvan Last Friday, myself and Niall headed to Waterford for a twenty-two hour pitstop in Dungarvan to catch a snippet of The Waterford Food Festival. We arrived at 5pm on Friday evening and left at 3pm on Saturday, but, boy, did we fit a lot in. We enjoyed fresh and […]
Last week, myself and a five of my fellow food bloggers (Catherine from Runcible Spoon, Emily from From Chila Village, Lily from The Amateur Mexican Cook, Rachel from Gastronomics, and Vicky from S’Tasty) were treated to a Carlingford oyster shucking and Dublin Bay prawn preparing class at new fish restaurant Matt The Thresher over on Pembroke […]
One of my greatest flaws is that I can be a bit of a lazy learner. If I pick something up I’ll usually get the basics and leave it there. I play 5 or 6 chords and a handful of songs on the guitar. I could just about get by in a French cafe ordering […]
