Eurofeasting 2014 – Part Two

The other half of our Eurovision super-post this year is all about the grand final on Saturday. This year Copenhagan are hosting and we have a group of friends coming round to cheer on our favourite acts and eat some delicious European food. It’s often hard to remember that we are all one big continent because each country has such a different personality and cuisine that it’s hard to find a few common dishes that signify Europe as a whole.

Eurovision parties have become the norm and a treasured tradition amongst our group of friends, and it’s always such a laugh to have a few drinks, some food, and watch the final together. People have their opinions about Eurovision but it truly is always a good show and such guaranteed entertainment for a week, every May. It’s so important to us that, since we’ve moved country, a couple of friends have decided to fly over to London this year to continue the tradition and watch the final with us on Saturday.

Eurofeasting 2014 – Part One

To celebrate Gay Christmas (i.e. Eurovision) we’ve decided to go all out and make a song and dance about it, if you’ll pardon the pun. For the week of Eurovision we will be bombarding you with posts celebrating European diversity and cuisine, as well as offering our own unique recipes and euro-inspired creations.

Snapshots: April

Another month has flown by and we’ve been up to some exciting stuff!

We took a long-awaited trip back to Ireland over Easter and visited our friends and family in Drogheda and Dublin, plus spent a day visiting some new cafés and restaurants in Dublin for a big picture post that’s coming in a short while.

We’re going full throttle into our audio posts on SoundCloud, having done three of them already. Have you listened in? Let us know what you think and tell us your own opinions, we will be posting one every week. Keep an eye out for our newest Songs Of Proves playlist too! We adore music and always have it banging on when cooking in the kitchen, so we love sharing our favourite tunes of the moment with you all!

Now, announcement time. We’ve some news to share; we’re going to be leaving our home in London next month…

Round My Hometown

Patrick is going to take a little time to show you around his hometown and talk you through the treasures of Drogheda on the banks of the River Boyne in Louth, an hour from Ireland’s capital, Dublin.

GastroGays on Glorifying Gluttony

Yoohoo! Here is a second helping of our voices talking about what we love to talk about: FOOD! This edition is focusing on the world of food in the media: are some websites and TV shows glorifying gluttony and giving the culinary world a bad name? We namecheck shows like Man V. Food and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and wonder whether they are doing more of a disservice to food and produce as opposed to the efforts of MasterChef, The Taste and the Bake Off.
