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: Waste Watching

The Four Pounds of Cheese Project has not only inspired me to look anew at my food waste but also lead to this savoury pie filled with cheese & cauliflower and with a potato & onion crust. That’s what I’d call a result.


Make Food, Not Excuses

A summer vegetable tian – otherwise known as a quiche in search of a crust – with slow-roasted herby tomatoes and courgettes – ’tis the Mediterranean on a plate


The Pickle Of The Crop

Spud Sunday: A Taste of June

Can I tempt you with some patatas bravas, inspired by the upcoming Campo Viejo Tapas Trail, or perhaps some free Taste of Dublin tickets & a case of Carmen Carmenere instead?


Spud Sunday: My Cups Runneth Over

Individual potato cups: shells of thinly sliced potato which make an excellent vessel for lots of things. A mix of Irish smoked salmon and cream cheese is just one of the possibilities.


Spud Sunday: ‘Twas The Day After Christmas

Redcurrant chutney, a new addition to the Christmas table


Spud Sunday: Star Of The Seaweed

Dillisk or dulse, a wonderfully savoury seaweed found on the shores of the North Atlantic, goes down a treat with spuds, a fact ably demonstrated by this dillisk-seasoned garlicky potato gratin.
