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.

An Indie Irish Christmas Gift Guide

I'm sure you're going to get inundated with Christmas gift guides from various publications promoting all kind of Irish food and drink hampers. It's all great but I wanted to take a more personable approach by curating a list based on what I love. 

A Delivery of Very Fancy Handmade Chocolates: Arcane Chocolate

Many of us may be improving our cooking and baking skills during the pandemic but let's face it, some things just aren't replicable by home cooks as they require technical skills and a huge amount of knowledge. That's why I've ordered pastries from Le Pâtissier and chocolates from Arcane Chocolate over the last few weeks. These are products that are made by skilled artisans and make you feel like you're really getting something special.

Dublin's Best Burgers at Home: Bujo Burger Home Meal Kit

As soon as I tried burgers from Bujo Burger over two years ago, no other burger joint existed in my book. When I lived in the city centre, their burgers were my excuse to go for a walk to Sandymount and the news of them opening a second location in the Central Plaza in Dublin city centre at some stage got me immensely excited a few months back. I'm not just a fan of their food but also their commitment to sustainability and their support of Irish producers. I also love that their culinary director, Gráinne O'Keefe, comes up with kick-ass specials so there's always an excuse to come back for more.
