Honey and soy glazed sea bass with rice noodle stir fry
One of my friends stopped eating meat, just by listening to her body and I thought that was a great idea. I decided to eat fish at least one day a week even if that isn’t much, but a starting point. I went to Kingston market, they have a lot of things I can’t get … Read more
Asparagus and green peppercorn soup
I adore to pick produce from the allotment and nothing ever tastes as good as when picked and cooked within an hour! Most of the seeds are now down, the onions have come up and the broad beans are flowering. It should be time next weekend to get some plants and when they are in … Read more
The Guinness Storehouse and a Guinness inspired stew
The Guinness Storehouse is the biggest tourist attraction in all of Ireland. Despite having been to Dublin quite a few times I had never been. Keen to rectify this a brilliant opportunity came up and it was time to see the Guinness Storehouse. The tour actually started in the cab on the way there. As … Read more
Ham Hoc casserole and spinach & wild garlic soup
I have a new cast iron casserole pot. It is beautiful and I knew as soon as it arrived that I had to use it to cook something. I quickly headed to Robson’s to pick up some slow cooking meat. After some deliberation I got a smoked ham hoc, the meat is so lovely and … Read more

After checking with my Irish foodie friend she suggested The Greenhouse, just off St Stephens Green in central Dublin. Her recommendations never fail and after reading the menu I quickly made sure we had a table! Reading on the website of The … Read more
Miso glazed cod with wasabi and green pea mash
On the last day of this beautiful bank holiday we went for a walk on the woods. Each season has their own charm but on a day like this it is just so lovely! Again I brought my camera to take some pictures and I just wish I could have captured the beauty of the … Read more
Zucchini rolls, the first asparagus and a pistachio and coconut rhubarb crumble
It is so beautiful outside with everything in bloom I just had to get the camera out and direct it towards something else than just food for once! I took it to the allotment and did a walk around. It looks quite bare at the moment but everything is blooming. The apple trees look stunning … Read more
Barbecue with mango salsa and veg loaded potato salad
It feels so lovely that the cold weather finally seems to have given in and the warm weather has arrived at last! The difference to wake up to a clear blue sky makes all the difference. Another clear sign of spring is the itchy nose, hayfever kicked in even before the green came out but … Read more
Salmon, Marcona almonds and cheesy cauliflower bake
The other week I decided to go to Whole Foods on Kensington High street. They have a very large cheese selection and I wanted to have a browse around. Standing proud was a Langres Mons cheese. I had never seen it before and I wanted to try something new. It comes from the Champagne district, it is … Read more
The wine and the women at Parés Baltà, Catalonia part II
I woke up after my snooze just as we were getting close to the winery, Parés Baltà, the last stop on our journey. I have never been to a winery on a tour before so I was very excited. The first thing that got my attention was that the vineyards around the Parés Baltà building were so green, a stark … Read more
