I recently returned from a trip from Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia and I ate my way around from casual hawker centres to Michelin star eateries and everything in between. So when I am in Ireland, my ideal weekend would be spending time with my kids, cooking at home or going out to a local neighbourhood restaurant.”“Friday night is usually pizza and movie night with my kids and husband.
The whole experience was a feast for the palate but also for the eyes. What blew me away was getting the insight into the effort and consideration that goes into the presentation, the quality of ingredients and how to handle them. Kevin and his wife Muriel were wonderful hosts and have a great passion for what they do. I can’t wait to go back.”“One of my favourite things to do on a Sunday is to meet up with friends or family for a feast of dim sum at theon South Great Georges Street. I love it.
If we are at home for the day, I love cooking a roast dinner on a Sunday. I usually rotate it with a different meat every weekend. I love a roast leg of lamb in the spring, served with fresh rosemary and mint from our garden. Roast chicken is the kids’ favourite, sometimes I need to make two because we all fight over the dark meat. If it’s roast beef, it has to be with my homemade Yorkshire puddings with lashings of fiery horseradish sauce.
If we have been out for the day and haven’t made any dinner plans, we all love an Indian takeaway fromin Ranelagh. The quality of their food is great, I would recommend the butter chicken, paneer lababdar and bhindi masala.”“One of the things I often do at the weekend is buy ingredients for putting together a nice charcuterie and cheese board. It’s perfect for when friends and family drop in.in Dublin City Centre. I usually go for a hard cheese like Comte, aged for three years.
