Now that Summer finally seems to have found us, I've been getting itchy to be out enjoying the sunshine. One of the things I've been looking forward to this Summer is the annual Taste of Dublin sponsored by Electrolux which is held in the beautiful Iveagh Gardens!
I'm a big fan of Glenisk dairy, especially their Greek yoghurts. Always thick and creamy, and whether going in to a cake or making a batch of tzatziki, the results are always tasty.
So I was really happy when I was sent a few samples of Glenisk's new "Pure Original" yoghurt range! In all honesty, I wouldn't have wanted to try a product I don't already support, so it was a win.
I received six 450g tubs of yoghurt. Two were plain, two were mango, and the last two were blueberry.

For those of you who don't know who Mich Turner is, now would be a good time to get aquainted. Why? Because she has a new book out which I'll be giving away to one lucky person!
She's also the founder of the Little Venice Cake Company in London, and the cakes made there appear on tables for Madonna, David Beckam, Paul McCartney and even her Majesty the Queen.
I have three favourite restaurants that I go to for great pizza, but I think of those three, Oliveto is my favourite for a few reasons.
The first reason is the location. It's in Dun Laoghaire right next to the water which makes for a lovely day out. There's a weekend food market open so you really can make a day of it by walking around the market enjoying the sea air and sounds before or after your meal.

This is my first "I Like" post. What is it? Everything and anything I like. Why? Because you might like it too!
Most of the "I Like" topics will be quite specific to Ireland; restaurants I enjoy, places I like to visit, things I like to see or do. But that's ok, if you're ever in the neighborhood, maybe these suggestions will come in handy when deciding where you want to eat or visit.
Other "I Likes" might just be about fun gadgets I've found, and not necessarily only for the kitchen.
Just to be clear, this isn't in any way a paid endorsement section, it's just things that I think are interesting and that I would recommend to my own friends and family.
So for the first ever I Like, it's all about Avoca Food.
