Galway City Guide
Rain or shine, this city has so much to do, see and eat!
When you travel somewhere with your two best friends, you’re destined to love the trip regardless of where you are in the world. The first time I went to Galway, I was with my two friends Kathryn and Nicola and let’s just say we had a time and a half. It rained, it poured, we got stuck in a wind storm but we also had perfectly crisp pints of Guinness, fresh oysters, and of course, a spice bag. Not only did I have a blast because we were together, but I also fell in love with this Irish city due to its charm, live music, and local ingredients.
Flash forward a year and I receive a goodie package from Grá Chocolates. As someone who feels kind of meh about chocolate, I was blown away by how addicted I became to their treats. The ratio of chocolate shell to filling, the unexpected flavors, pairings, the quality and the not-too-sweet taste combinations left me craving more.

With my upcoming book, The Condiment Book, coming out this September I really wanted to collaborate with an Irish brand on a flavor punch. The first one that came to mind was Grá Chocolates so I crossed my fingers (and toes) and pitched collaborating on a chocolate together. They quickly responded to my email with “A chocolate?? Let’s do a full box collab!” - that’s it, I’ve peaked. They invited me to their factory this to test out our flavor ideas and to design the box - little did I realize they were based in Galway… That’s when I realized I had never sent out a city guide!
