More ways with coconut milk…
The lovely food blog 101 Cookbooks also has coconut milk on the brain, and recently added a recipe for a Sri-Lankan inspired Cashew Curry. They also have extremely enticing Coconut Macaroon Pancakes. I think these would be amazing with some sliced banana and vanilla icecream.

Ingredient of the Week: Coconut Milk
I’m trapped in the snow, deep in the Wicklow Mountains. The phone is no longer working. This machine is my only lifeline to the outside. Luckily, I’ve been preparing for this eventuality. For many years. There’s meat and frozen veg in the freezer, chocolate stashed under the bed , and unlimited tins of tomatoes and…

It’s a Pancake Tuesday special here at CheapEats. Check back in throughout the day for more recipes and pancake antics. Pancakes are tricky little fellas.

I find black bananas extremely unpleasant to eat, but know from years of making Avoca’s Banana Bread that overripe bananas work really well in baking. I did a bit of searching online to…

I had them at many beachside locations on my Honeymoon in Vietnam. The combined flavours of lime and pepper give the prawns a citrus kick that is quite unusual. Vietnamese pancakes are also…

Crocodile recipe: I wouldn’t eat a whole one
A few years back I was at an endangered species bbq. Okay, we didn’t actually whack a whole load of endangered critters on the grill but cooked up some unusual meats. We got them from Downey’s butchers in Terenure which offer up a large selection of gourmet game. We weren’t just trying to be mean…

Bangkok street food, Diep at Home
Diep at Home, based in Ranelagh, is perhaps the best value takeaway I’ve found. It’s is one of many good Thai takeouts near me, including Thai Thai in Kimmage, Saba Rathmines, and Tak Tai on Clanbrassil Street. But Diep’s Bangkok street food keeps luring me back. I can’t stop ordering the Kai Yang: a half…
