A Wee Scottish Dram
Sure no trip to Scotland would be complete without a wee dram of Scotch whisky. With that in mind, I made a point of sampling the Arran single malt on my recent Scottish jaunt.
Essence Of Ireland
Presented at this year’s Oxford Symposium Banquet: Irish smoked salmon drizzled with Connemara peated single malt whiskey – a real taste of Ireland
Whiskey Business, Part II
Lemony apple pudding with a buttery, creamy whiskey sauce – dessert as inspired by that ultimate winter warmer-upper, the Irish hot whiskey.
Whiskey Business
Ah, hot whiskeys. They were serving them up by the dozen at the Temple Bar Trad Fest launch and I was happy to imbibe.
2009, The Spud Review
My review of 2009 at The Daily Spud – there was food, there was drink, there were awards and, of course, there were lots of potatoes!

A little while back, Angela from Spinach Tiger asked the food blogging community to cook red to remember World Aids Day. I was happy to oblige with this recipe for sliced tomatoes in a bloody mary sauce.
Stirred, not Shaken
When asked if I wanted to attend a Finlandia vodka cocktail masterclass with the Soul Shakers, I didn’t have to think twice. A real pleasure to learn the ways of a good martini and be introduced to the delightful grapefruit julep.
A Highly Spirited Affair
Hennessy cognac tasting and cocktail masterclass – gosh it’s a tough life I lead!
