As you know, Alan and I decided to take the plunge and give our online shop a brick and mortar home (yes, we are officially bonkers). After two very busy weeks, full of cleaning, painting, pollyfila repairs, tradesmen nightmares and a lot of hard work, last Saturday we finally opened Picado Mexican Pantry in South Richmond Street in Dublin 2.
It's been a hell of a rollacoster ride. I think I have definitely developed an allergy to paint burshes (if I see one more I think I'll scream) and I have learned that a bad plumber can make you cry a lot... for two DIY virgins like Alan and I, to have the shop opened and looking soooo beautiful it's an absolute dream.
None of this would have been possible with without the support, help and encouragement of so many friends and family. Thank you all for the good wishes, the flowers, the cards, the chocolates and the tons of booze! We needed it all! :) There are a few people we must thank specially as, without them, none of this would have been posible.

Love corn tortillas? Wanna learn how to make your own from scratch? this is the perfect workshop for you! As a third generation tortilla baker, I learned the trade from my grandfather, who was passionate about a good tortilla. Corn tortillas are Coeliac friendly, tasty and above all simple enough to make... and yet, we all have faced disasters when trying to make them.
In this class, we'll be showing you how to make your corn tortillas from scratch, a couple of taco fillings and some home made salsa. There will be some 'hands on' as I want everyone leaving the demo confident enough to make tortillas at home. We'll finish the demo with a tasting of the food we cook and the tortillas we make. The demo will be in my new Dublin kitchen at Picado Mexican Pantry, In South Richmond Street in Dublin 2, so places are very limited.
