Ukiyo Bar at the beginning of what turned out to be a full-house for Raw Foods It’s wonderful what a few fresh wild flowers can do to a room. We arrived at Ukiyo Bar on Exchequer Street last Sunday night around 7pm, ready for a raw food extravaganza. The room had been set up with […]
Jamie and one of our Maps of the World place mats I spent the hours between 5pm and 7pm on Friday of our first CDWM running around the flat like a blue-arsed fly. I was chopping and scrubbing and screeching and puffing and huffing and slicing and dicing and marinating and panicking basically. I would […]
Myself and Niall enjoyed a slightly squiffy Saturday lunch at Coppinger Row in Dublin earlier today. Coppinger Row is a newly opened restaurant on a little lane in my favourite part of Dublin. It’s housed in the lane that runs between South William Street and Clarendon Street. For more Dublin style directions, it’s the lane […]
Aoife, Collette, Alan, Jocelyn and Alan (Niall behind the camera!) So, we had our first Come Dine With Me last Friday night. Thanks for all the support on twitter! It was a fun night. I’m only going to post the pics of what I cooked for Niall, Alan, Collette, Jocelyn and John. I don’t want […]

Darn it, it’s so hard to get the colours right in these food pics! The food in the pic above looks horrendous but I assure you, the salad was lovely! Yesterday morning being Sunday, I trotted off to the shop to get my mitts on The Observer, as it was Food magazine month hurrah! I […]
So wrong, yet so right! Ah man, this one is a bold one. I had meant to make this dish, which looked fairly balanced and quite nutritious, despite the frying part. But I forgot to pick up the broad beans on my way home yesterday, so all I had were a few wee spuds, some […]
Not a great pic, but seriously, this soup was ‘the shit’. Arriving home very late after a rather long Monday at work, I was greeted by Niall offering up a bowl of this scrumptious soup. It’s from the Anthony Worrell Thompson GI Diet book. It’s a really hearty soup, that really is more of a […]
They all come crawling back…to the BBC Good Food website. Well, I did anyway. It’s been a while since I’ve had a wander through the zillions of recipes and tips, and tonight I was sure glad I did. This recipe for Morrocan Aubergine & Chickpea Salad was deliciously light and tasty, seasonal and nutritious. And […]
