Posted By: Gastrogirl, 13th April 2013, in Dining Out, Restaurant Buzz

Early last month, despite the snowy weather, we spent an enjoyable morning there  sampling its many brunch options, with...

Free Rachel Allen Recipe E-Book

Posted By: Gastrogirl, 22nd November 2012, in News, World of Food
As a self-confessed cookbook addict, I love the freebie 'tasters' that do the rounds when there’s  a new one on the publisher’s list. Sometimes they take the form of little booklets slipped into newspapers, sometimes there's a free app, and in this case, it's a free downloadable 'Recip-E-book', or...

Odlums Cake Club

Posted By: Gastrogirl, 25th September 2012, in News, World of Food
It's not often I extol the virtues of the advertising department of a large corporate entity, (in fact, I'm often the one calling them out) but hey, I'm in one of those moods. And before the cynics among us go there, no the Odlums people haven't been...

Restaurant Review: White Friar Grill and Restaurant

Posted By: Gastrogirl, 13th August 2012, in Dining Out, Restaurant Buzz

Bank Holiday Boy Treat: Black Pudding Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Wrapped in Streaky Bacon, on a Bed of Potato Rösti and Wilted Spinach, accompanied by Dijonnaise Sauce and Toasted Pinenuts

Posted By: Gastrogirl, 3rd August 2012, in Dinner a Deux, Man Food, Recipes, Weekly Favourites
I'm not gonna lie. This isn't a dish you can throw together on a Corrie ad break while the kettle's boiling on a Wednesday evening.  It's a weekend dish, and probably, a bank holiday one at that. It takes  a bit of doin', but boy, is it worth it. This...

A while back when I was just a baby blogger (as opposed to the wobbly toddler I am now), I attended a foodie night at Matt the Thresher’s Seafood Restaurant, organised by the inimitable Irish Foodies. During that enjoyable evening, I met a small but truly lovely group...
