Caitríona Redmond: A comforting smoked fish recipe with parsley sauce and mash

Irish seafood is among the best in the world

Yesterday I watched a short video on TikTok in which a woman announced that her children wanted a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. So she set out about making the bread from scratch in her achingly perfect kitchen, with not a crumb in sight. She kneaded and left the dough to rise. Then she made her own mozzarella and churned her own butter, all in the one morning. Apparently, this woman cooks all her children’s food from scratch.

Take it from me, and I do cook a lot, the video was a piece of performance art.
