| Mom’s Quick and Easy Seafood Stew |
| 2008-09-17 17:59:37 |
My Mom is a great cook, but we often give her a hard time because she always cooks the same few recipes. Now having said that, she cooks them extremely well and with lot’s of love, but that doesn’t stop us winding her up.
One of my all time favourite Mom meals is an incredible seafood [...]......

| Best Chocolate Birthday Cake Ever! |
| 2008-09-15 04:37:03 |
It was Mr. Tastie’s birthday yesterday and I wanted to make him a special cake. I was planning on making Grannymar’s Death by Chocolate Cake, but in the end I thought it might be a bit rich for the kids and would suit an adult occasion better. I’m sure you will agree that it sounds [...]......

| School Lunch Treat: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies |
| 2008-09-02 16:24:07 |
This has been an emotional week for me. My oldest daughter started school on Monday. It seems like it was just yesterday she arrived on this earth. Hard to believe how time flies.
Of course school starting posed a new culinary challenge for me - school lunches. There is a very restrictive list of things you [...]......

| Easy Smoked Salmon Sushi Stacks |
| 2008-08-29 01:44:36 |
Sushi is a notoriously difficult food to prepare and professionals train for years to be deemed sushi chefs. I have tried to roll my own sushi before and whilst tasty, it was certainly not aesthetically pleasing. I came across a recipe in my hors d’oeuvres bible, (everyone should own this book!) that looked both beautiful [...]......

| Review of Taste Kildare |
| 2008-08-19 07:42:43 |
Taste Kildare,
Straffan,
Kildare,
Ireland
I’d been aware of Taste Kildare for awhile since reading about it in Food & Wine. The website was a bit amateur and to be honest I thought it was going to be a glorified farmers market. Nothing could have been further from the truth.
The big draw for this event for me was the [...]......

As mentioned before I got a really nice box of goodies from Thai Gold. I wanted to try some more of their recipes and chicken satay seemed like it would be a good one for the kids.
The first time I had Satay was at a Malaysian restaurant in Belgium. I have yet to have a [...]......

I’ve always been a fan of Thai food and really wish I had the time to experiment more often with it. Pim’s Pad Thai has long been on my to-do list. I even have all the ingredients now, including palm sugar and tamarind, I just have to get around to actually making it.

The Blue Haven Bar, Kinsale,
Pearse Street,
Kinsale,
Cork,
Ireland
On our recent trip to Cork we headed to Kinsale for a walk around and dinner. As it was a bit of an impromptu trip, we had neither a reservation nor the wardrobe for somewhere fancy, so after walking around we settled on The Blue Have Bar for dinner. It [...]......

| Prawn and Avocado Cocktail |
| 2008-07-05 05:36:33 |
Prawn cocktail is such an eighties dish isn’t it? Overcooked prawns with a stodgy marie-rose sauce on wilted lettuce. No thanks. Here’s a zesty alternative that we just love.
For my American readers, shrimp cocktail in Europe is served with a zingy sauce similar to Thousand Island, instead of the red horseradish sauce you would be [...]......
