I was in the delightful Bite of Life cafe on Patrick St this morning when I heard them telling some regulars about a fundraiser event – so I got the details to spread the word here, as it sounds just lovely. Bite of Life, DIT and the National Gal…
Feck eating healthily today, for today is Pancake Tuesday! I made a vat of pancake batter last night (it’s best if it gets to sit overnight) to bring into work, where we’ll be cooking it up in our office kitchen with savoury fillings for lu…
A new series of Come Dine With Me Ireland will soon be filmed by ITV, and they’re looking for people in Cork, Kerry, Leitrim/Sligo, Cavan/Monaghan and Tipperary to take part. If you’re interested in appearing on tv to show off your cookin…
I was hoping to head along to the Food & Wine Magazine Christmas Show this weekend but some last-minute work prevented me from going. So I asked my lovely friend and previous Cheapeats contributor Ruth to go along and send us her thoughts on the ev…
The annual Food & Wine Magazine Christmas Show takes place this weekend in Dublin’s RDS. It’s aimed at foodies, funnily enough, with the main highlights of the show being the cookery demonstrations and masterclasses. This year has s…
A big, big thank you to everyone who helped out with our Cake Sale and everyone who came along to buy cake. We had a delightful afternoon, there was SO MUCH delicious cake, and we raised over €300 for Barnardos and their crucial work with vulnerabl…

Halloween is about death, fun and cake. This weekend, Cheapeats – also known as Jean and I – are holding a cake sale in The Grand Social to raise money for children’s charity Barnardos. We’d love, love, love you to bake somethin…
Barnardos are running a huge fundraising campaign this week – the RTÉ 2fm Dress Up for Barnardos - to raise badly needed money for their valuable work. We’ve thought up a way that we (and you!) can help. We’re organising a char…

The foodie group For Food’s Sake have been running food-themed evenings in Dublin’s Sugar Club for a while now. It’s always managed to clash with other plans for me, but I’m hoping to make it along for the movie screening this e…

It’s that time of year again. A trough full of pie, mash, and mushy peas can only mean one thing: Pieminister at Electric Picnic. But, amazingly, the pie is being overshadowed this year, and nosh is really coming to the forefront with the launch …
A Flash Feast is taking place on the Milennium Bridge at 1pm today, so if you’re in the vicinity, get yourself down there and you may be one of the lucky 40 passers-by who will get a free lunch. Hurry up! The event is kicking off the Street F…
An event that aims to celebrate independent businesses in Dublin is taking place this weekend. Unique to Dublin was organised by the Dublin City Business Improvement District and a range of independent businesses are offering special deals and discou…
I wasn’t able to make it along to Bloom in the Park over the weekend, so my heavily pregnant sister Barbara kindly agreed to take my press pass and bring along her husband Keith and their little boy Dylan. Here’s her feedback. What was good…
There’s no end of interesting distractions for the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend. Once again, Bloom in the Park, which kicks off today, is one of the big summer highlights. It’s a must-attend event for any foodies or gardeners. I’m re…

My friend Ruth is organising Wafty B’s Tea Party: a lovely, once-off, pop-up, afternoon tea event in Dublin on Saturday April 16th. I have every faith that this will be completely delightful – I can’t say enough good things about Ruth…
The people behind Jo’Burger in Rathmines have come up with a clever idea for a pop-up restaurant in Dublin city centre. They’ll be serving chicken dishes for 12 weeks at Crackbird, 19 Crane Lane in Temple Bar. The chicken is being billed …
