Still More Barcelona
A post by Kieran at Ice Cream Ireland
With the days either or cloudy, there I´ve continued to spend my days walking and eating. The Catedral de Barcelona (photo above from the garden) made a welcome respite from the drizzle.
So did the Museu de la Xocolata, which doesn´t really have that much to offer, but is a must for a chocoholic like myself. Continue reading »
Facts:
- It’s great to take a few steps in Temple Bar area in City Center, just to look at the people, pubs and gardai walking.
- And, even more, it’s fantastic to eat in Temple Bar. For example, I recently ate at Quays Restaurant, in the heart of TB.
The Story:
I must say from the start: the… Continue reading »
Cakes Galore
A post by Sarah Bell at Stuff yer bake
These are another two cakes that I have made over the last couple of weeks for people at work. Both of them took quite a few hours of work but I’m quite pleased with how they have turned out. I generally make a madeira cake, which is tasty but also quite robust and withstands carving into various shapes. I froze the lorry cake as it makes carving in to shapes much easier so hopefully it will still taste nice. I am dropping the lorry cake off tomorrow and await the verdict.
Cookery school call-out
A post by Caroline at Bibliocook: All About Food
Just got an email from Cactus TV (home of Saturday Kitchen and Richard and Judy) looking for people who are interested in learning how to bake and who would like to participate in a new cookery series. It all kicks off in June so they need volunteers in the Cork area ASAP. More info below.
- Do you love cooking but find the art of baking a bit of a mystery?
- Does your bread fail to rise?
- Do your cakes go soggy?
- Maybe you loved baking as a child but have since lost the skill? Continue reading »

Product Review: Perdue Perfect Portions Chicken
A post by Hillary at Chew On That
Recipe4Living’s product testing program is having a blast and has just reviewed another product! This time Perdue’s Perfect Portions Chicken was called in for questioning.
We asked our testers to tell us how they felt about the chicken. Did it taste good? Was it easy to cook with? Would you buy it again?
But perhaps the most important question of all was: Were the portions indeed perfect?

Burger King Launches Huge Burger for 6 People
A post by noreply@blogger.com (Private Chef) at iFoods
In an attempt to take on the traditional pizza market Burger King has invented a burger that is fit for 6 people and quite frankly disgusting looking. How anybody can think that a huge bun stuffed with all sorts of shite can become a viable alternative to the pizza is beyond me. Continue reading »
Polly Gets Serious
A post by Polly Peirce at Vinca's-in-tha-kitchen!
Just in case anyone looking in this direction has noticed my recent absence I should excuse myself and explain that I have had a bad case of bloggers block. I’ve written loads on the lap-top computer which came from E-bay at a fraction of its original cost, but none of it has been anywhere near to posting standard.
Just as I was beginning to despair of ever putting finger to key again, and in between frenetic buzzing around the place I discovered an e-mail sitting in my yahoo account box. Continue reading »
And now… the end is near…
A post by Deborah at The Humble Housewife
Well, friends it has come time to end this blog. I will be moving it to a new server to coincide with the business launch hopefully next week. If you subscribe by email or RSS, it will automatically point to the new blog, once launched, so no fear.
I will still be posting recipes regularly, but will also feature interviews with Irish food businesses and bloggers, event announcements and reviews and foodie thoughts.
Please check back next week for the official announcement. Continue reading »
Keep your eye out for a low-fat kebab
A post by noreply@blogger.com (John Ferris) at Food and Drink
I really enjoyed this article in the Guardian on kebabs. I didn’t laugh out loud at the fact that on average a kebab has up to the equivalent of a wine glass of cooking oil.That is, however, a fascinating fact. Continue reading »
farming’s future sustainability
A post by ollie at olliesplace: organic food, farming, research, news and views...
Here’s an interview I did with Richard Douthwaite (right) of FEASTA. It appeared in last week’s Farming Examiner as the front page and centre page spread.
Oliver Moore: Can you outline the overall situation with regard to the sustainability of farming, as you see it Richard?
Richard Douthwaite: Modern industrialised farming, particularly tillage, has been described as a way of converting fossil energy into food energy. Continue reading »

Make-ahead Caramel Cake for Saturday barbeques

Working Saturdays means that any weekend entertaining needs to be planned and organised well in advance, especially when it comes to Saturday night barbeques at the cottage. The Naas Cousin was coming to stay so I grabbed the opportunity to get a few of the cousins together. Continue reading »
