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.
