]]> Comment on Martijn Kajuiter awarded a Michelin star by Colm http://messy-chef.com/blog/2010/01/martijn-kajuiter-awarded-a-michelin-star/comment-page-1/#comment-8604 Colm Mon, 18 Jan 2010 10:11:56 +0000 http://messy-chef.com/blog/?p=742#comment-8604 Well done to the Cliff House. Very well deserved. It is GREAT to see the Michelin inspectors finally getting outside Dublin and Belfast this year. Hopefully in the coming years we will see other resturants outside of Dublin getting some well deserved visits from the inspectors. Ballymaloe House in Cork, Gregans Castle in Ballyvaughan and the Old Convent in Co. Tipperary are just some that come to mind as examples of rural Irish Resturants that have at least one star if they were in France. Every other award body gets to visit and reward these resturants. It's time Michelin gave their inspectors more time in Ireland. Hopefully the success of the Cliff House will make them realise this. Well done to the Cliff House. Very well deserved.

A lesson well learned by all of us, and a fabulous reminder by you. Next week, I am getting together with a bunch of girls from University, one I haven't seen since we graduated in 1993 as she moved out of the country. I had planned on serving a casual buffet and a few nice bottles of wine, But I have this really special bottle of bubbly that I have carried around for years. You have convinced me to pull it out, add a few edible hibiscus flowers into the glasses, and share a special bottle with special friends while we are all there to enjoy it! Happy 2010 and keep up the great blog! By far the best New Year’s blog post I have read. A lesson well learned by all of us, and a fabulous reminder by you.

What a lovely family Jamie has, and how nice to see him eschew the bad language that too often mars his presentations - I didn't even notice its absence at the time, just goes to show how unnecessary it is.

I often find that I love so many different foods, I am bound to eat something once in a while that somebody else near me might find disgusting. But I can bet that somewhere in the world there is somebody else who enjoys it just as much as I do! My favorite food rule he mentioned is “Don’t yuck someone’s yum”.
