The food & drink businesses that brightened my 2020

Happy New Year! I hope you had a good Christmas and are doing ok given the context. I should have posted this article before the end of 2020 but I was hiding in a Christmas bubble away from the Internet for six consecutive days and never got to finish it until now.

A Franco-Irish cheese soufflé recipe #SP

I’m delighted to be partnering with the National Dairy Council as part of the Cheese Your Way EU campaign. We often joke in my house that our fridge content is about 90% cheese. I mostly buy Irish cheeses for what my husband and I call our ‘cheese ceremonies’ (essentially a cheese platter for dinner) and I cook a lot with French and Italian cheeses on a daily basis.

I was walking through the city centre at lunchtime not too long ago and ended up in a seafood restaurant… by myself. I usually hate eating out alone but on this occasion the sun was shining, it lifted my mood and I just wanted to treat myself to a huge bowl of moules marinières with fries while sipping a glass of Picpoul. It’s the simple things, isn’t it?
