If you were a kid in Ireland in the 80’s, then you knew that all vegetables were the same colour (kind of greeny brown or orangey brown) and could be ingested by being sucked through a straw. Al dente was something smart that a young fella said when he hit your rear bumper and leeks...

I used to think I was a coffee purist until one day, about 15 years ago, I was introduced to Gloria Jeans Hazelnut blend. From that moment on (probably more so because of the romance surrounding this particular coffee date) I was hooked (to the man, and the coffee).  I haven’t been on an endless...

I was a fussy child. I don’t mean that I didn’t quite like the taste of broccoli or peas. If I could smell the peas being cooked in the same kitchen, I wouldn’t eat my dinner. I couldn’t eat out with my family when we went for Sunday lunch. I couldn’t begin to explain to...
