What a beautiful BASH

BASH Magazine Volume One (from Image Publications) was launched recently and I was delighted to have been asked to contributed to the food pages. I took my inspiration for my feature from the cute song "I'm sticking with you, 'cos I'm made out glue" (by Velvet Underground) - Don't you just love that tune?!

Photographer Cliona O'Flaherty has been shortlisted for this years photographer of the year for her features in the mag, including this, so I'm super thrilled for her! The magazine is simply stunning and had me wishing I was getting married all over again.

My Style in Image Magazine


(c) Cliona O'Flaherty

Eeekkk! Check me out in the 'My Style' feature of the current issue of Image Magazine....basically all boils down to me coming clean and face to face with my addiction to shopping, hoarding and colour after all these years. Thank you so much to Suzie Cohen at Image mag for making me sound amazing and fab photographer Cliona for making me look..well, like the Holy Mary! Caption suggestion from my dad for under the 'Shrine to Wine' photo... "If they only knew".

All that aside, I was delighted to be able to promote Cup Cake Camp at this years upcoming Bloom in the Park. I will be hosting 40 (!) kids demos over the five days all in aid of Crumlin Children's Hospital. Avoca are our sponsors so you can be sure everything is going to look (and taste!) amazing. Please bring the kids along and support the great cause. See you there!

Feisty Salads



Some feisty salads I styled for Catherine Fulvio in this months issue of Irish Country Magazine. This days challenge brought a location with no cooking facilities and so everything had to be cooked early in the morning before leaving home (with a lot of praying along the way that it would all stay looking good for the day). That's where lashing of oil and a small paintbrush comes in as a food stylist's 'tool of mass creation' in making everything look lush last minute. Helped along by gorgeous props from Pearl and Godiva.
