Irish Times August 2011: Pubs worth a detour

"Looking like it has robbed a garden centre and come up smelling of roses, if there were a Tidy Town or Entente Florale award for a single building, Blairs Inn near Blarney in Co. Cork would surely win it. The effort that goes into the outside gives you some indication of the work going on indoors too, in a family run premises with a beautiful riverside location." (Sandra O'Connell, the Irish Times)

Take a bow Richard Blair. Great to see all that hard work and effort you put into the garden get some well deserved recognition.

Donegal Rapeseed Oil

(download)

Donegal Rapeseed Oil is a fantastic 100% Irish product. Low in saturates and high in omega oils, it is healthier even than olive oils. Not only that, it tastes great too. We are now using it in all our dressings instead of olive oil. Donegal Rapeseed Oil is ideal for frying too. In fact it gives a wonderful golden tinge to fried fish. This brilliant product can be found in shops and farmers' markets up and down the country. In short if you see it, buy it.
