    Heading to the Kingdom this summer? Eva Schmid of Kerry’s Ard na Sidhe hotel has put together this really delightful and useful infographic on Kerry’s food festivals, cafes and tea rooms, cooking courses, farmers markets and food stores.

    I’ve written before about the ease of finding cheap eats in London which, despite several months in travel in Japan, Borneo, Australia and New Zealand, is still one of my favourite cities in the world.

    I’ve recently returned from my annual food pilgrimage to Kinsale in Co. Cork, a Mecca for Irish food-lovers. I had some amazing meals this trip so instead of bombarding you with several different reviews I’m going to condense them all into one. I headed down with a friend and my sister, we had it all…

    Broke and busy, I couldn’t get it together to go away. Instead, I had this great plan to fool myself into thinking I was abroad by having a dish a day from holidays past. I did have two successful meals but a hundred and one things came up and I ended up barely sitting down…

    I spent three nights in New York on my way back from my dreamy holiday in Mexico, and as always with New York, there’s no need to go into too much preamble.  New York = one of the best culinary destinations in the world, amazing variety, incredible global cuisines, yadda yadda yadda.  (They say yadda…

    As part of my attempt to fool myself into thinking I’m on holiday, I am having a dish a day from holidays past. Brazil had the most amazing food, in fact pretty much everything about Brazil was amazing. I had some of the best fish stews there and if you like prawns there are loads…

    I spent the weekend waving people off on their holidays. I’m not the envious type but I did feel left behind and longing for an adventure myself. Having no plans to go away, which I am pretty bummed about, I have decided to have a culinary adventure this week and try out some dishes of…
