But even though I was already sated on our quick-and-dirty supper of eggs with heavily smoked bacon and sweet chili sause on flour tortillas (wife left at 6:00 to babysite our grandchild so son and wife can go out on the town), his show made me want to eat again immediately.
I'm not sure how Irish some of this dishes are (don't think the ancient irish used much teriyaki sauce), but his recipes seem to be delicious ("mind-tasting"), relatively small number of ingredients, and fast & simple & unfussy prep/cooking.
Some that really struck me were - Savoury Spring Onion & Cheddar Quiche
- Dunmore East Fresh Scallop Tartlets
- Spiced Apple Jellies with Yogurt Mousse
- Trout Fillets with Streaky Bacon and Flaked Almonds
- Baby Leek Gratin with Smoked Gubbeen
- Sticky Glaze Chicken Thighs with Asian Stuffing
I grabbed these recipes from his website ( http://www.kevindundon.com/), and he explains them well (if you watch the show, you need to brush up on your Irish to English pronunciations) |
Thanks. I can't say that I ever heard of Dundon (nor O'Dundon, nor McDundon--any Dundon at all). Nor his book or videos.
Instead of expecting us to learn someone's else's English, why don't the Irish and English and Australians and all the rest of them learn to speak correct English. Which is American English, of course.
You may not know that you can set a "price watch" (notification of a price drop) at
ereaderiq.com. When an ebook goes down to your specified price, they'll let you know. I should have many more of the books on my want list on it than I do.
To use it, go to
their homepage. On the menu at the top, there is an item "My Watch Lists." Click on it. Follow the prompts. At some point, they ask for your email address--of course, they'll need it to let you know when the price on an ebook has dropped to your target price. You can also get a daily compendium of price drops, which I find helpful, and other goodies like that from them. In my 5 or 6 years dealing with them, they have always used my email address responsibly.
Oh, one nice feature of theirs that you might want to check immediately is their price tracker. You can find out what the price for the ebook has been for about the past 3 years or so ago. If you're hoping that this book by Dundon will drop to 99 cents, for example, it might be helpful to find out if it has ever marked it down that low. If it hasn't, you might want to choose a higher figure. Or be prepared to wait a long time.
Now a trivia question for everyone who is reading. When did the non-Irish explorers of Ireland discover potatoes for the first time, growing in Ireland, and begin exporting them all over the world, in which places they had hitherto been unknown?
