October News

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! The weather has definitely started to change, and as I always say, it’s the best time to be in the kitchen. I am back from my trip to England, and happy to be in the kitchen again teaching. The course was extremely disappointing, which is too bad....

September News
Posted
Fall has to be my favourite season, for so many reasons. A sense of routine comes in September, even without back to school being part of the routine, the markets are full of lots of lovely produce, and cravings start to change – with that, inspiration in the kitchen starts to change as well. I [...

Summer News
I say it all the time, but where has the time gone…. How is it August 1? It’s been a fun, busy spring + summer here at The Ruby Apron. After Sicily, I was home for two weeks and then blasted back across the pond, spending time in Shanagarry (Ireland), and London. As always it […]

Wow, more than a week is gone in April – and it has flown by. So happy to see the rain the last few days, and hoping the dust and brown is soon bright and green. Lovely to hear and see the birds, ducks and geese back, little signs that spring is really here. One […]

Reflection
I often sit at my computer with the goal of writing a blog, but I get distracted and think about how I sat (nearly) every night in my bed at Ballymaloe and wrote a blog. I don’t know how I did it, yes of course I had a lot to talk about. But I have […]

March News
Posted
How is it already March 1st? The good news is it means we are that much closer to spring and all of the new season produce I find March and April to be two of the hardest months in the kitchen – definitely the hardest months to shop and find inspiration. The fruit and veg […]

January Newsletter
First of all a belated Happy New Year to everyone! I can’t quite believe it’s 2017, which  means I was in Ireland 2 years ago settling into my second week on the course! Hard to believe really – I often find myself looking back and remember just how much I learned during my time at […]

November News

I feel like I always start my newsletters and / or blogs by saying, “I can’t believe…,” but, I really can’t believe that November is nearly coming to an end! It’s been a whirl wind month with a two week trip to The UK, time in London with my mum and our friend Penny – eating, […]

What’s New at the Ruby Apron – September 2016
Posted
I keep saying it, “I can’t believe it’s September,” and now, we are nearly a week into September. I love living in a country where we have four distinct seasons, and really would miss it if I didn’t live here. I crave the routine that comes with September, even if I’m not back in school… […]

Simple Tomato Sauce

Where has the summer gone? It sounds terribly cliché, but I really cannot believe it is September 1st! I am definitely ready for the routine that comes with fall, as the weather starts to change I crave different food, and I’m inspired by different ingredients in the kitchen. Last night I posted ...

Shopping Thoughtfully
Posted
This blog has been on my mind for several weeks now, and I am finally sitting down to write it. My sister in law, Mirela called me and said she had a great idea for a blog post, to talk about shopping thoughtfully and why I shop the way I do. At first I didn’t […]

Sourdough
Posted
There are a lot of food related things that I could say, “is there anything better than…?” and I’m sure I’ve said it numerous times on my blog. But, is there anything better than a slice of still warm, homemade sourdough smothered in butter? I finally mastered (again) sourdough after being home f...
