Welcome back to episode 95 of this very special day in the week. Woman Crush Wednesday is dear to me as you know. I feel blessed to dedicate this day to a deserving gorgeous gourmet gal! Love, inspiration and a fabulous recipe, just a few things to be excited about. Especially when today’s honoree is the incredible Carla Hall! A chef after my own heart, as she too thinks the secret ingredient in every dish is LOVE! Continue reading
I know it is only mid November, and for my US friends we still have Thanksgiving coming in a couple of weeks. But over here in the UK and in my soul home Ireland, it is already full Christmas mode! People panicking about the Christmas gift list! Well I have a solution! Homemade foodie gifts! And today’s Woman Crush Wednesday is going to sort us out with a delish recipe. Once baked these festive treats can be wrapped up super pretty. Helen Goh is today’s gorgeous gourmet gal who has recently published her first book, Sweet, with one of my all time fav chefs, Yotam Ottolenghi. The book is drool worthy, and the Pecan Snowballs are perfect for the season that is in it! Continue reading
For all those dreading Halloween because of the deliciously naughty temptations, I have a quick fix. However, you may like it so much that this recipe could be one for the long haul. It contains pumpkin, one of my all time favorite flavors! But this recipe is gluten free, dairy free and sugar free! It seems all my other pumpkin dessert recipes on here are naughty indeed! Thankfully this has redeemed me from myself! Continue reading
Welcome back to Woman Crush Wednesday! My favorite day of the week where I choose a female chef and recreate one of her recipes live on Snapchat. And of course this here is the LOVE story for our one and only gourmet gal! This week’s honoree is the best selling cookery book writer and world famous food blogger Deb Perelman. Her blog Smitten Kitchen has been the gold standard for food bloggers practically since its inception back in 2006. Her prolific posts of incredible sweet and savory foods have ignited flames in the hearts of home cooks from coast to coast! Continue reading
Happy Easter! Or as we jokingly call it “Happy-ster”. That’s because after moving to Ireland we called Hubby’s mom on Skype to wish her a Happy Easter. However, with the poor connection all she could hear was Happy –ster! Since we will hopefully be climbing Croagh Patrick this weekend I am sure that at the top of the Holy Mountain in the West of Ireland, it’s likely we won’t have the best connection either. So unless you hear from me, this will be your official holiday greeting! Continue reading
After a break last Wednesday I’m back ready to rock and roll in the kitchen with another fabulous female chef! I did share a recap post of some of the previous Woman Crush Wednesday recipients which you can see by clicking here. But I am excited today as it is not only February, the sweet month of LOVE, but also because today’s honoree is the ultimate pastry chef Mindy Segal! Continue reading
Though today is Wednesday, my favorite day of the week, it feels more like a Monday. Here in the U.K. it’s the dreaded first day back to work after the Christmas holidays. But the minute I start my Woman Crush Wednesday cooking tutorial on Snapchat (username blissbakery) all that will change. I will bust out some singing (off key) and another fabulous recipe from a female foodie. And for the last WCW of 2016 I’ve got a winner! Continue reading
