Great Anticipations: The Delight of an International Guide

As those who have been following the blog well know by now, one of the 50 Adventures is to learn and become a respectable cook of Irish food. In order to do this, I figured it made sense to start reading material from Ireland. I started reading the Irish Times on my Google reader, and came across their food editor that has some wonderful recipes. Domini Kemp, the food editor, writes with a very friendly style that invites one into the recipe; after reading just a couple of said recipes, I was sure that these could happen on Indiana soil. Then I came up a roadblock...temperature conversions on the oven. Mark? Yikes! I decided to go straight to the source.

I wrote an email to Ms. Kemp in hopes that someone could lead me to making these conversions. I received a reply that she was out of the office until August 31.

Yesterday, I checked my email as usual and lo and behold, a very friendly reply from Ms. Kemp along with a link for conversions! What a delight. And, added to that delight, her request for me to send her my blog entries that tell of my adventures in Irish cooking.

I'm anticipating a good season of good eating...and thanks to Domini Kemp, the eating won't be too hot or too cold, but just right.
