Asian food absolutely rocks but I always feel that shop bought noodles let a good stir-fry down. However, I have recently discovered wholegrain noodles which are a complete revelation. As a general rule I try and eat as much wholefoods as possible; I’ve eaten brown rice for years and changed over to wholegrain pasta a [...]

You may have noticed a slightly quieter site lately. Jean is off gallivanting around Mexico with our friend J. Headen Esquire, while I’m preparing to pack up for my own overseas adventures.

Leaving Cert economics: snob value. You buy something precisely because it is expensive and hard to find. Following a few weeks where I turned from food, I found myself in Liston’s on Camden St. and felt like splashing out on some fancy foods. I got some delicious Killowen yogurt but was really drawn in by [...]

It was once the jewel in the tawdry crown of Temple Bar, one of Dublin’s nicest little lunch spots, a gorgeous little hideaway with friendly staff and really special food.
