Spud Sunday: Smoky And The Salad

What better thing to do with a present of Kinvara smoked salmon than to wrap it around a few dollops of creamy potato and egg salad


Spud Sunday: New Spuds On The Block

The first new potatoes of the season have been dug and a new potato salad recipe is on the menu, this one packed with feta cheese, roasted garlic, lemon and mint


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.


Putting The Ham In Sandwich

A ham sandwich from Denny – an Irish tradition between two slices of bread. This year’s Bloom in the Park festival is just one of the many places to enjoy same.


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.


Veni Vidi Viticulture

Lunch with Cloudy Bay viticulturalist Sioban Harnett at Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud – an entertaining and informative affair


Spud Sunday: Soup For Thought

A hearty bowl of curried potato and cauliflower soup, inspired by Gorta’s SoupForLife campaign.
