My Mam always said the best place to eat seafood is by the sea and she’s not wrong. Even before you step into a seaside restaurant you smell that fresh, salty air, so you know your food hasn’t travelled far to be on your plate. Food is not just about flavour or presentation, it’s […]

Growing up, you lose a very familiar childhood lifestyle. My school weeks had so much structure to them. I’d wake at the same time every day, eat, work, play, study and keep up with my hobbies. Having an Irish mammy to make you go to all of these things certainly helped. For me, a highlight […]
