A bit late but this is what we ate a LOT of when my vegetable garden was going crazy. Got a little sick of it, to be honest, but now that I no longer have an abundance of courgettes just outside my front door, I’m missing its fresh, light flavour. Can see some courgettes being bought this weekend… [...]

It’s barely the end of August but already there is a distinctly autumnal nip in the morning air. Having only sowed for the summer season, my vegetable garden is looking a little sorry for itself. Gone are the peas, beans, berries and courgettes. All that is left is a few hardy head of lettuce, the new potatoes and some [...]

Picked plenty of these: Already made this and, of course, this. And I’m very excited about this. Any other ideas?

Everything is worthwhile but I can see some fraught moments in the [...]

We did another Munro earlier in the week: Maol Chean Dearg. It was a stunning walk in but unluckily the summit was engulfed in clouds minutes after we reached it. Should have snapped a few photos immediately but the need for a cheese sandwich after a 3061 ft climb was ferocious. To reach the hill [...]
Prize Winning Veg!

On Saturday our village held its annual flower and vegetable show. I entered a few things just for fun. Can’t tell you how ridiculously thrilled I was when my peas won third prize and my monster courgettes won second! Roll on next year, I say.
Soda Bread

The breakfasts in my Dublin hotel were good but fairly generic. Cereals, preserves, grapefruit, eggs, sausages etc made for a very satisfying but pretty unexciting start to the day. The one shining light in the morning spread, however, was the soda bread. Spread thickly with sweet Irish butter, I ate mountains of it each morning vowing all the while to [...]
