A lovely salad, flower and all, that I picked up last Saturday in Cork’s amazing English Market. Twere the tastiest leaves I ever did eat. Cork is lovely. Really lovely. But you knew this already. Got to use twitter to its full potential before we travelled to Cork by sending out a message of ‘Know […]
It would have been such a beautiful quiche *sob*! Wow. Just had an hilarious food fail. About an hour ago I wasn’t seeing the hilarity of it so much but I’m over it, mainly thanks to a carrot cupcake. Basically, about three hours ago, I decided to tackle my first home-made pastry. I know you […]
Remember I was saying about frozen peas? They’re ok but I wanted to refresh my memory as to what fresh peas from the pods actually taste like. I picked up a few at Denis Healy’s Organic Delights market in Temple Bar on Saturday and whipped up this pasta in about 15 minutes. What you need […]
New garlic. Smelly, smelly stuff. I was watching The River Cottage Springtime with my friend Hugh Fathoughbly-Whottingfigs and I saw him make this soup. It looked so simple that I figured what they hey, we’ll give it a go. All you need for Hugh Feathably-Witheringstock’s New Garlic Soup from memory by Aoife Mc Four or […]
I mean, honestly…you can’t go wrong with basil, garlic and tomatoes can you? It was back to Jamie Oliver’s Jamie At Home this evening after a week that was definitively highlighted by my self-diagnosed tinnitus. Ah now. I should probably mention that, though I’m not exactly a full blown hyprochondriac, when I have a sore […]
Seriously. Imagine being 27 and never having made a roast chicken? I’m not sure how that even happened. Since moving into our new flat and having a telly for the first time in four years, I’ve already settled into a very comfortable and enjoyable Sunday TV routine. It starts with about three hours of Come […]
I whipped this up last night before heading out to see Annie Mac DJing in The Twisted Pepper in Dublin. She played a KILLER set, everyone was going mental and now my head and feet are sore today. Twas great. This is from BBC Good Food as well. I had a serious craving for a […]
Go on, ya good thing! My friend Dee was cooking for about ten people last week and she was a bit stressed because she was cooking straight after a long week at work and wanted something simple yet lush. I had just tried this the night before and suggested it. She quadrupled up the ingredients […]
That’s right, Red Lemonade. Illegal in every other country in the world except Ireland. After a fashion. A while back, I was reading through the excellent Eat Like A Girl blog, which is by Niamh who is an Irish lady based in London. I saw this post about a Guilty Pleasures Dinner Party and I […]
There’s me on my way to Fallon & Byrne. How unutterably chic! Nah just kidding, I did a load of eating this week but I also had a visit from my friend The Energy Vampire. I was zapped. Totally due to a miserably grey few days in Dublin. No matter how hard you try to […]
