Luscious Links April 8, 2008

Image via WikipediaJust some groovy foodie links from around the web and other random stuff.

Top Ten Tastiest Food Photography Tips - Some awesome advice here, God knows I could use all the help I can get, but I have a light box on it's way, which should counteract my late night cooking. Hat tip to Red Mum!

Ireland's first Vegan Food Blog is born and I have to say I think it has the best Food Blog name ever - Ommnomnom! Stop by and welcome Victoria to the blogosphere and check out some of her super tasty recipes - I especially love the Mac Cupcakes! ;-)

I've mentioned a few times that Anthony Bourdain is one of my personal food heroes. Turns out he has a blog - woo!

Grannymar has been featuring fabulous recipes every Monday. I can personally attest to the fact that her Gingerbread is spectacular. Rich and moist with an old-fashioned flavour, it is the perfect comfort food and gets even better as it is left to sit! A real winner!

Per Damien - another warm welcome is in order - for a new food blogger to Ireland all the way from Romania, Cristian Roman! Welcome to the Irish blogosphere Cristian.

Fiona from The Waiting Game has released her new site and her book is soon to follow. Congratulations Fiona!

Last in the links, but certainly NOT least is our own Kieran at Ice Cream Ireland, with the announcement of their book release! I am trying to coordinate a camping trip to Kerry to coincide with their launch. Paul doesn't know that yet, but he's an ice-cream fiend, so I am sure there will be no objections! ;-)

On another note, I happened to be in Limerick this past weekend as I do some craft demonstrations on the side and happened to have one scheduled there. The lovely Maz of Style Treaty got everyone together for drinks and tapas on Friday night. I once again got the chance to meet the mischievous Bock the Robber, albeit briefly and learned some interesting facts about Hitler. Does Bock know everything? Hmmm....

Although I had briefly met Val from Val's Kitchen at the blog awards we were really able to chat and she finally understands the complete and utter irony at the title of my blog! Of note is that she is dating Bono. He was there too, and bought a round. You heard it here first folks! ;-)

Margaret, Maz's partner in crime at Style Treaty was also a riot. We were reminiscing about our days living in the Windy City. Does anyone live in Chicago and not fall in love with it? *SIGH*

I got to meet the lovely Lette and her boyfriend Keith, who had me in stitches with his views on child rearing! I finally got to meet the wonderfully talented and incredibly nice Lorraine of Italian Foodies. I also got a fabulous tour of La Cucina the next day, had some , got to meet the absolutely adorable Princepessa and bought loads of Italian storecupboard staples! I brought Paul home some fabulous canneloni too. Thanks Lorraine!

It was a fabulous weekend and thanks to everyone for meeting me and making me feel so welcome in Limerick. Which, by the way, is nowhere near as scary as the media would make you believe. I did not witness one instance of violent crime. I was quite disappointed really! ;-)
