Festival offers food for thought
Niamh Mullen | 27 June 2009
Foodies braved the threat of bad weather to sample what Dublin’s best restaurants are offering at the Taste of Dublin festival, writes Niamh Mullen. Food heaven is the best way to describe the Taste of Dublin festival. Now in its... Read more
What is the sound of dinner cooking?
Berna Cox | 06 February 2009
Berna Cox is a dab hand with a shovel when it comes to whipping up a dinner for the family. If myself and the ever-loving other half were ever to find ourselves on that awful TV programme Mr and Mrs,... Read more
Taking the biscuit — because it’s free
Berna Cox | 24 September 2008
There’s no doubt about it, the Irish mammy is a formidable force. And the Irish mammy of a son is a particularly formidable force. Add into that equation that the son is a big, lumbering 18-year-old and the mammy is... Read more

Mary Anne Kenny | 30 May 2008
It’s fair to say that there have traditionally been a few areas where Ireland could have done with a bit of help from outside experts. First of all, we really could have done with some style advice. As a milk-skinned,... Read more

Valerie O'Connor | 04 January 2008
Where does this expression ‘Chicken soup for the soul’ come from? Chicken soup, in its purest form, as a clear broth with vegetables and chicken meat is also known as ‘the Jewish Penicillin’ and must therefore be as old as... Read more
Family meals- a thing of the past in modern Ireland
Val O'Connor | 21 September 2007
A recent survey published by Bord Bia stated yet another fact that we shouldn’t really be alarmed by, relating to food and eating habits in our new, ‘shocked-into-the-future’ Ireland. In urban areas of Ireland, not specified but I’m sure we... Read more

Berna Cox | 22 June 2007
As meals go, it was entirely ordinary. Absolutely nothing special. Tossed salad with a bit of smoked salmon and a few other little salady bits and pieces. Ordinary. But for me, it was the most satisfying meal I’ve had in... Read more
