Who We Are

In Ireland, slainte is a toast to good life and health, and this blog is nothing short of a celebration of the relationship between food, life, and friends.

We like to cook, we like to cook together, and we like to cook good food.  We are former college roommates and forever friends, brought together at least once a week by the allure of tantalizing treats and conversation. 

Before going any further, we should also mention that we like coffee.  The elixir of life is present at each of our gatherings and stimulates the most wonderful conversation.  It also does wonders for the occasionally over-baked cookie (not that we would have personal experience with that, of course.)

We are cookbook and food-blog junkies and like to think of ourselves as food explorers, a term coined and championed by the great food columnist Erma Bombeck.  Slainte is a record of our day-to-day culinary journey, and we are glad to have you along!
