My reading material for our journey to and from Australia was Frank O’Connor’s My Oedipus Complex and the Jamie Oliver Magazine. Think of that what you will. The copy of Jamie’s Magazine was the second issue of the new bi-monthly and it’s packed full of recipes. It also has some travel-eating type pieces and a […]
Chateau de Cazenac, the stunning venue for the wedding in France over the weekend. If you’re thinking of an overseas wedding, this is your place! Magical. Myself and Niall had a wonderful time in Bordeaux over the weekend. In fact, we were two hours outside of Bordeaux in a sleepy little village called Siorac. The […]
…to Dan Deacon in Andrew’s Lane Theatre tonight that is. Tomorrow we’re off to Bordeaux for my school chum’s wedding and no doubt the food and wine will be flowing and utterly fabulous. I figured it would be best to stock up on the greens before our travelling sets in. Keep up the immune system, […]
Here’s a real easy dinner that is quick and rather delicious. It’s not exactly good for the thighs, what with all the cheese etc, but it’s good for the smile factor which is of course very important for a mid-week dinner after a hectic Bank Holiday weekend. What you need for a very easy pasta […]
I fancied a bit of an easy meal tonight and opted for Steak and Chips. I eat steak about once every four or five months, and I really, really enjoy it. It’s that craving for steak and fresh fish that keeps me from making the leap to vegetarianism. I know I just posted about roast […]
Oyster mushrooms. Bleedin’ weird looking yokes. So…this meal was a little bit better than Part 1. I would recommend using this recipe as a leftover dish when you’ve made your own roast chicken on a Sunday because it was really very good. It was totally easy to make and, provided you have the pre-cooked shredded […]
Oh hello, vegetables, it’s been a while… After a weekend of a Super Extra Bonus Party gig in Andrew’s Lane Theatre and a cackle-and-dirty-joke filled hen party, plus a massive and rather delicious Indian meal on Monday (too dark to take photos!), vegetables were most certainly needed by Tuesday in icanhascook HQ. I also thought […]
The yummiest and most simple dinner we’ve had in ages. Step one: Head to M&S and pick up a two of their sustainably sourced Mediterranean Sea Bass Fillets (€8.99 for two, a bit pricey but sooo worth it). Pick up some of their Tenderstem Broccolli on the way out. And a sneaky bottle of white […]
Well, at least I have an unstoppable umbrella… Ah no, in fairness, it’s actually been lovely here for the last three days. And I thank you weathermen-and-ladies for that. But today was the type of day in which the mother of all comfort food, Cottage Pie, could really shine. Niall’s lovely granny Carmel gave me […]
Last night, myself and Niall went to a sausage launch. Really! We were invited by the very lovely Darragh on behalf of Jane Russell, who was throwing a BBQ party on the roof of The Odessa Club off George’s Street in Dublin. Never ones to say no to free food and beer on a Monday […]
