FINALLY! We can share with you something we have been ever so excited to tell you about for some time now. Plus we have coupled up this lovely announcement alongside a brand new audio blog post all on the topic of one of those baking essentials: bread.
Patrick Hanlon
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. Click-through and listen in….
Audio Blog #1 – Seasonal Produce
We have decided to diversify how we do this blog. Seeing as Russell cannot stop talking and loves radio, and sometimes we don’t get around to writing all of our foodie thoughts down, it felt right that we add a new dimension to what we do on GastroGays.
Snapshots: February/March
Hmm… It’s been an eventful month as ever, or should we say 8 weeks? Apologies for the lack of snapshotting in February, resulting in a double post this time around. If you follow us on Facebook, you will have remembered that we explained we were undergoing some changes and fighting technical demons with the blog! Semi-annoyed to say we are still experiencing them, but it’s business as usual on the blog front and we will be quietly working away on making this bigger and better all the while.
