So delight to say I’m signed up with an Irish food distributor and only down the road from Killarney. Love Independent Irish Health Foods Ltd. and everything that they have. Do reach out if you are a shop owner and looking to try out my ginger inspired goodies.
Big plans to be in more shops and the hard work starts now.

Just here chomping on some quick flour and yoghurt buns made in the airfryer. I was just wanting some regular bread buns for my Ginger and rhubarb jam. I don’t think my jalapeño and cheese sourdough was going to go with the rhubarb jam. Well impressed. Now I used milk kefir, and bread soda, for the buns and a great if you need something in under 20mins. Perfect for the morning ☕️

This was an interesting find this weekend. Ginger mint, got to love it. Also called Vietnamese mint and very similar in smell to spearmint. It grows into quite a bush, 1.5 feet tall and 2 feet wide. It also acts as a great insect repellent to cabbage or tomatoes.
The leaves help combat headaches and digestive issues. I also like the use of adding to butter, lemonade and hot chocolate. That’ll go perfect with some grated ginger. Can’t wait for it to grow up and out.
I got it at the Fota Plant Fair last Sunday.

Looking forward to this event. I have attended as a visitor as I am interested in the Slow Food movement, when living in Mayo. Fabulous day and great talks at the Pavilion. See you there.
