Apologies for the lack of blogging, I’ve been sunning myself in fab Spanish Sunshine, although I’m sad to have missed Ireland’s only week of sun!!
We stayed in an area called los dolses just outside torrevieja, there were some lovely restaurants, Italian, German & homecooked BBQ’s. Here’s a few pics from hols… Cannelloni, Seafood pizza, sad-looking lemon tree with one lemon & for dessert some knitted Strawberries my sister made me!!

I’m away on hols next week, but hoping to get down to Dunmore East on the Sunday to visit the Food Festival, I haven’t been before, however the location & views alone are well worth the trip.
The Festival surrounds the Farmers Market with over 40 stalls, with local restaurants & hotels offering events also. Other events over the weekend are Arts & Crafts, full children’s programme, under the family-friendly logo, with face-painting, street artists, an agricultural mobile farm, and musical entertainment.
Sounds like a family fun day out…
Enjoy Vick xx

2010 Taste of Dublin kicked off Thursday evening in the Iveagh Gardens, showcasing some of the best restaurants in Ireland, local food producers & celebrity chef appearances! I went along to the Iveagh Gardens saturday evening, which made it all the better to enjoy in the beautiful sunshine.
Here’s a few of the chefs in action on Sat evening: Kevin Thornton, Kevin Dundon, Derry Clarke & Rachael Allen.
There was a great selection of starters, mains & desserts available from all the restaurants. We sampled starter from Forty One – Bluebell Falls Goats Cheese Crumble
Mains from Jaipur- Tandoori Chicken & Tawa Gosht 12hour slow cooked lamb in onion & tomato masala.
There were loads of drinks companies to buy wine, processco, Crabbie’s ginger ale & bulmers berry among a few.
For Dessert we sampled some King Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar from Superquinn, Pandora Bell fudge, Artisan du Chocolat liquid salted caramels, glenilen raspberry mousse, also sampling Mossfield Organic cheese & Baylough farmhouse cheeses both from Tipperary.
I also fell in love the Emma Bridgewater Aga…
