Dinner
Spud Sunday: The Yield So Far
My crop of potatoes so far may be small but they are welcome on the dinner plate nonetheless
Spud Sunday: The House Of Boxty
In which I pay a long overdue visit to Gallagher’s Boxty House in Temple Bar and learn more about boiled boxty, baked boxty and boxty pancakes
Happy Tummy, Happy Heart
In support of the Irish Heart Foundation’s Happy Heart campaign, launched recently at Saba, I give you some Thai Hot and Sour Soup
Spud Sunday: Matters Of Import
I will probably never be a true locavore. Wine and spices (used here in an African potato stew) are just two of the non-local items I would rather not be without.
Spud Sunday: Of Hogs And Blogs
Using swag from the first official Irish food blogger event, I make some smoked trout dip and feel compelled to make oven chips to go with it.
Spud Sunday: Soup For Thought
A hearty bowl of curried potato and cauliflower soup, inspired by Gorta’s SoupForLife campaign.
Spud Sunday: Of Spice And Spud
Events are conspiring against my efforts to study with Atul Kochhar, so I must study his book instead, from whence come these wonderful potatoes with cashew nuts.
Killer Cheeses
How’s about an Irish cheese plate for Paddy’s Day? Or some raclette, using St. Gall cheese from Fermoy? All as inspired by a recent Slow Food Ireland raw milk cheese tasting.
