Rhubarb and Blood Orange Syllabub

You know how some people get excited about a good film or their favourite TV show? Well, I get excited about food. Food and the fact that Eddie Vedder is playing in Cork this year. But mostly food. So when I saw one lonely bunch of rhubarb in the market last weekend I pounced on […]

Korean Chicken Wings

Poires Belle Helene – Poached Pears in Chocolate Sauce

Purists look away now, I had run out of vanilla ice cream so I used cookie dough ice cream! It works 🙂 I nearly forgot to post a chocolate recipe for April! So this one is getting in by the skin of it’s teeth.
