OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!
This morning, I got a comment on my blog from Kevin Dundon, THE chef who created the “It’s Not Bleeding Chowder” who cooked for U2, about my post!
He commented,
I am delighted that you are featuring my recipe on the your web site for more recipes checkout http://www.kevindundon.com
Good Eating
Kevin
To someone like me who loves to cook, loves to eat good food, plus loves everything Irish -especially cute, talented, smily Irish men, it was like the real GOD talking to me!
Can I say it again? “Oh my God!” It’s like my prayers answered. My Irish God is smiling down at me!
As you can imagine, in my mind, I hear Bono singing away “It’s a Beautiful Daaaaaaaaay!”, and also “When Irish Eyes are smiling”. I told you, I love them both.
I’m very excited, honored, astonished…. and a bit embarrassed. So THE Kevin Dundon saw my picture? (Compared the one on his site, it looks shabby…) He even saw my recipe? The cabbage comment? And I wrote “fish stock or CHICKEN stock” to make it more accessible? Geez.
I might take that Chicken broth out and change to water, since the God said fish stock or water. And take the cabbage comment out…. Make the real version with more seafood with shells and replace the photo… And now to think about it, I think the version we ate at Raglan Road might have had fennel infused broth and cubes of fennel in it. I forgot about it… It’s nearly 2 years ago, and my memory is fading! I’m not 25 any more!
But he’s the best chef in Ireland who can charge a lot of Euros for his creations. On top of that, he cooks for people like U2 and Queen Elizabeth! On the other hand, I was just trying to translate my memory of that tasty creation to an everyday table, easily.
It’s time to shut up my evil little voice.
Anyway, maybe it was your prayers too… On his website, there is a recipe for “Duncanon Seafood Chowder” which is basically the same with Raglan Road’s “It’s Not a Bleeding Chowder!”
So here it is. Kevin Dundon’s real seafood chowder recipe. Enjoy!http://www.kevindundon.com/duncanonSeafoodChowder.html
Me? Of course I’ll make the God’s real version soon!
When I do that, I will add more seafood with shells to include a photo of a more impressive chowder on this post. (I can’t copy and paste that beautiful photo from his website, you know?)
Oh, and for those of you who have been waiting for the doria recipe, don’t worry, I’ll post it tomorrow. I just wanted to share my excitement, and his recipe with you. : )

Mari,
Maybe a trip to his cooking school is in the cards…I liked his recipes since I am always looking to stray from the corned beef and cabbage St. Pat’s meal I cook for a crowd annually, but then my guests would be dissappointed? I am thinking this year to spice it up and make the Loin of Bacon with Irish Mist glaze, my husband has a cookbook “everything tastes better with bacon” but this Irish American lass thinks ‘everyting tastes better with guinness or whiskey’! Cook with your spirit!
Hi Donna,
It’s time to show other (Irish and non-Irish) Americans that there are more to Irish cuisine than the corned beef and cabbage! Your guests will love Kevin Dundon’s recipes on your next St. Pat’s party! (Or he may have a updated version of CB&C recipe in his book?) Make sure to invite me if you do so! BTW, are we still on on 11/13? Can you send me your final confirmation, pls? Thanks!
