‘In My Kitchen’ has an Irish feel this month. This amazing country that I live in, has a wonderful array of food producers and crafts!
In My Kitchen…
… Stands this beautiful Tara tea set. This Irish made birthday present includes a teapot, milk jug, sugar bowl and six teacups.
In My Kitchen…
… Are bottles of delicious oils, made around the corner from The Glen House. Newgrange Gold Rapeseed and Camelina Oil is grown and produced on a farm in the heart of the Boyne Valley, Co. Meath. The oil is a delicious “culinary oil with an amazing fruity taste, which is great as an incredibly healthy cooking oil, salad dressing, for frying and other culinary uses such as making home-made mayonnaise and baking”.
In My Kitchen…
… Is a jar of Fig and Apricot chutney from McCambridges of Galway. This gorgeous, tasty chutney had been a staple in The Glen House since we moved in. It is great with all sorts and meats, hot and cold as well as cheese and crackers!
If you ever find yourself in Galway city, you MUST visit this amazing deli/cafe/shop. They make yummy brunch as well as stocking great foodie goodies!
In My Kitchen…
… Are two new jars of goodness! The mango and apple chutney and red onion marmalade came from Foxford Woollen Mills in county Mayo. The mill is famous for blankets and scarfs, but we left after a recent visit with these delights. The marmalade is sharp with sour notes and the chutney is slightly spicy and sweet.
In My Kitchen…
… Sits a little handmade wooden honey dipper.
In My Kitchen…
… Are these fantastic jam accessories. Dr Doolittle has been busy making jams and jellies, so we picked up these cute owl jar accessories from Kilner at Market 57 in Westport in county Mayo. Dr Doolittle recently made crab apple & elderberry jelly….
In My Kitchen is a brilliant food series that bloggers from all over the world join in and write about, brought to us by the wonderful Celia from Fig jam and Lime cordial.
See you next month!

I am so jealous of your Tara tea set. It is beautiful and fits in perfectly with the way you have styled the Glenn House. What a wonderful gift! I also love your jam accessories and wish I could try that elderflower and crab apple jelly of yours. There is a really famous food market in Cork. Unfortunately we didn’t get time to see it during our trip in May. I will have to save it for next time. Emma xx

I have never heard or seen of rapeseed or camelina oil before, what are they made from Melissa? And how or where would you use them – frying, dressings or finishing a dish? They sound great though 🙂 Look forward to seeing you next month for IMK – nice meeting you
