If you’re Irish one of the defining Christmas moments is buying the Christmas Bumper Edition of the RTE Guide and checking out what’s on TV over the holidays. This year I did it earlier than usual as I was asked to share my recommendations on the Marian Finucane Show on…
Gill and MacMillan sent me two very different books to review for Christmas, the first was Irelandopedia by daughter and father team Fatti and John Burke. (More about the second later in the week). I loved this book from the moment I saw it, the graphics and illustrations are really…
We had lots of fun last Sunday in imaginosity in Sandyford. We’d been invited to try out the play sessions and new Christmas workshops. I was a bit nervous going in, my kids are a two-and-a-half -year-old girl, and five- and seven- year-old boys so there’s a wide span of ages to…

A few weeks ago I received a copy of “All in the Cooking”, which has recently been reprinted by O’Brien Press and The Educational Company, for review. I loved the original, or as it happens the metric edition, when growing up. It was very well thumbed in our kitchen…
