    Some will go big and others might like to have just plenty of little dishes to nibble. Many people have said that tucking into a big hearty meal is not the way to go and I might like to agree. So why not try several small dishes and make time to share the food and company.

    My last post brought news of an award winning restaurant in county Limerick. I won’t say that the response was huge but it looks like there’s quite a few food critics out thee.

    It’s back to the food for me and here’s a great dish that I came accross of late. Some hearty winter fare.
