Irish Coffee Swiss Roll
A post by Vicky at S'tasty
When I was young my sister Zoe used to make a great coffee cake. I used to think coffee cake was incredibly sophisticated as a child. Generally in Ireland coffee cakes were not made with coffee. Just absorb that sentence for a second. You have to remember it was the eighties and coffee hadn’t quite taken off. There was literally no such thing as a take-away coffee let alone a grande skinny frappuccino. So, we improvised and coffee cake was usually made with a substance called Irel. Continue reading »
My Traditional Irish Tea Brack…
A post by Donal Skehan at DonalSkehan.com
Irish tea cake is a traditional Irish fruitcake which is also knows as Barmbrack depending on the time of year that you’re eating it! This recipe makes a really beautiful moist fruit loaf which is packed with flavour from the mixed spice and dried fruit, which sits overnight in cold tea and whiskey to soak up all the goodness. You can drop the whiskey if you wish but I think it adds another flavour kick and makes it even more perfect for Paddy’s Day! Continue reading »

New Fermenting Classes
A post by Valerie O'Connor at Val's Kitchen
I'm delighted to say that the fermenting classes are flying it. So great to have my little kitchen bursting with people, mainly women, keen to improve their health through food, and to fight for the right to raw milk too. I've scheduled some new classes here, some are half booked already but I'll keep on keepin on. Happy fermenting culture vultures!

Commons Express Inn
Lovely Meal. Great Buzz
Enjoyed a terrific dinner at the Commons Express Inn at the weekend, the best of local produce washed down with some excellent local beer, including Kinsale Pale Ale by Blacks and the Stag Ban from 9 White Deer in Ballyvourney. Great buzz there too as we were guided to our table in the very comfortable dedicated dining area.
Had a look at the specials on the blackboard – you’ll also see them on an insert in the main menu. Continue reading »

Roast Lamb with Rosemary & Garlic feat. Entertaining with Beth…
A post by Donal Skehan at DonalSkehan.com
In this roast lamb recipe I use slices of garlic and sprigs of fresh rosemary to stud the lamb leg. This classic combo imparts a fantastic flavour to the meat and is so quick and simple to do. An easy side dish to serve alongside the roast lamb is simply braised baby gem, with peas in white wine and thyme. If you wanted to make it more indulgent you could add a little cream to the cooking liquid at the end of the cooking time. Continue reading »

If you are a fan of decadent treats, this Chocolate Guinness Cake is the dessert for you! The dense and fudgey chocolate cake has a fantastic malty flavour which comes from the addition of the stout and is topped with a creamy white chocolate cream cheese frosting which resembles a pint of Guinness!

Potato & Irish Cheddar Dinner Rolls feat. The Domestic Geek…
A post by Donal Skehan at DonalSkehan.com
While the popularity of home baking has gone from strength to strength in recent years, bread making seems to have a bad reputation. A lot of bread recipes require hours of kneading and proving and I think that puts people off. I am a big fan of fuss free cooking and these Potato and Irish Cheddar Dinner Rolls couldn’t be more simple. A few quick and easy steps and you are on your way to the lightest, fluffiest dinner rolls you have ever tatsed! Continue reading »
Taste of the Week. Cully & Sully Lentil & Smoked Bacon Soup

Taste of the Week
Cully & Sully Lentil & Smoked Bacon Soup
The latest Taste of the Week is packed with flavour and makes for a great lunch after a rainy midweek morning. Full of goodness too as Lentils provide “plenty of protein, cholesterol-lowering soluble fibre and about twice as much iron as other legumes”. Cully & Sully provide lots of information on their packs and even a recipe on this one where you can combine chickpeas with the soup. Continue reading »
Lager vs. Ale
A post by The Beer Nut at The Beer Nut
There’s something very wrong-looking about Anchor beer packaged in a container other than their iconic stubby bottle. Even the veteran brewery’s large-format bombers have retained the classic shape. So it felt a bit weird to come to this can of their California Lager, but that’s just the times we live in.
This San Francisco 4.9%-er pours a hazy, bitty yellow, topped by a thick mat of loose bubbles. Continue reading »
