By Stitch and Bear
01/31/13 22:23
I don't publish many recipes on this blog. In fact, most of you probably think that I live in restaurants! In reality, I do love to cook and do so most evenings when I'm not travelling for work. The real reason I don't post recipes is that I don't have...

Great Irish Bake Off - Week 5 - {Key} Lime Pie
By Stitch and Bear
09/16/12 23:59
Last week was only great. All my fretting about the wobbli-ness of my crème caramels paid off and I was chosen as the Week 4 winner of the Great Irish Bake Off. Chuffed does not come close to describing how I felt. The challenge for Week 5 was to make an...

O'Brien Chop House, Lismore, Co Waterford
By Stitch and Bear
01/08/12 19:56
Back in early December 2011, we found ourselves driving between Cork and Waterford. As we passed by Youghal, I saw roadsigns for Lismore, reminding me that I was yet to visit O'Brien Chop House (which has been open since 2009). Being a creature who demands...

Il Primo, Montague Street, Dublin 2
By Stitch and Bear
12/03/11 19:03
I have a slight addiction to Masterchef. I watch it in all its variants, although I must admit that I'm not that partial to Masterchef Australia. Perhaps it's a bit too relaxed for me, which is probably the reason I adore the more high octance Bristish...

161 Cafe & Bistro, Rathmines, Dublin 6
By Stitch and Bear
11/05/11 11:02
I live in a beautiful area of Dublin. It's that bizarre part of Dublin where Rathmines begins to disappear but you haven't quite made it to Ranelagh, Rathgar or Milltown. Us residents, as well a significant amount of Trinity students, call it Dartry......

Bibi's Cafe, Emorville Avenue, Dublin 8
By Stitch and Bear
11/01/11 20:52
Sometimes you come across a restaurant or cafe that is so charming and lovely that you literally don't want to tell anyone else. News of its existence circulates via word of mouth (and through clenched teeth) as no one really wants it to get too popular....
