Great local food value!

With the colder weather and shorter evenings upon us we have put together some soup/stew veg bags from some veg that we need to get out of the ground asap to make room for winter crops. These are perfect as a base for a stew or make a lovely soup on their own with a stock cube and a bit of garlic added. You can even add in any veg you've got in you press that needs using asap. A steal at €4 per bag. Order via DM or at 0852513912.

Had to get up at 2 am to carry out one of the steps and happy to say 'twas worth it🙂. Good taste and texture. It all started at Bia Bo Finne. 3 weeks ago, at a talk/ demo by Renvyle sourdough baker, Laura of so_doh_sourdough_renvyle !

Sourdough crackers - with seaweed would you believe🙂. My first attempt at sourdough baking, using 'discard'. Judged a success by my taste masters! ( the grandchildren).
Thanks to Laura from so_doh_sourdough_renvyle for the starter! Wonderful things happen at Bia Bo Finne. Inishbofin Island, Co. Galway
