Spud Sunday: Boxty On The Menu
There was boxty aplenty at a cookery demo in Gallaghers Boxty House, which included boiled, baked and pan versions of the traditional Irish potato dish, and a lunch menu featuring different versions of boxty for all 3 courses
Have Your Cake And Tax It
It was an evening of positivity at the Bord Bia Food and Drink Industry Awards, though, with talk later of a VAT hike for certain bakery products, the realities of operating a food business were never far away
Spud Sunday: Spuds On The Shelf
This year’s Taste of Christmas was an opportunity to catch up with products new and old from the Boxty Bakers, Goatsbridge Trout and Keogh’s Crisps, among others
Tales Of Wales
My recent visit to Wales taught me a lot about Welsh food: this recipe for Welsh cakes is one small (but lovely) part of that
Spud Sunday: The Return Of Foodcamp
Foodcamp returned to Savour Kilkenny this year, with plenty of food for thought, as well as food for eating
Gone Cruisin’

Spud Sunday: Food, The West Cork Way
As part of the new West Cork Food initiative, I got to fillet & smoke fish with the fabulous Sally Barnes; back at home, I made this potato and lentil stew to go with it
Spud Sunday: The Look Of The Irish
Bord Bia host a day for Irish food bloggers, with the aim of helping them to paint a more appetising picture of Irish food. In my case, that means starting with potatoes.
