My recent trip to the Waterford Festival of Food (Ireland) has many, many enjoyable moments but for me the outstanding event was the pop-up restaurant ‘The Brewer, the Blogger, the Baker’. Great food, great style and a great vibe. Here are my thoughts on the event. Wish you were there. In fact I wish I could relive it to sample more of the menu!

Back home recovering from a long weekend in Ireland at the Waterford Festival of Food. Here are some of the many images still dancing around in my head. Such a lovely, regional food festival showcasing all the best to be found in the sunny South-East. Enjoy!

Once again the sense of smell surprises me with its power. I feel it’s possibly more immediate than sight or even sound. Just a waft of a forgotten smell can transport you through time and across seas in an instant.

Recover from any over-enthusiastic festive frolics with this pick-me-up breakfast bread. The traditional irish griddle soda farls are quick to make and split, buttered and topped with your choice of honey, homemade jam, fried egg or black pudding will help revive you at the end of 24 hours of St Patrick’s Day celebrations.

St Patrick’s Day Celebration Menu draws to a close with a dinner of Bacon & Cabbage. And, hand on my heart, this version with the addition of juniper berries really added something special. Drizzled with the MOST delicious whiskey sauce, the combination of creamy cabbage and the bacon was pretty heavenly. And I’m sure ol’ St Patrick wouldn’t mind me saying that!
