It's that time of the year again. The Irish Blog Awards longlist has been issued and it's great to see Bibliocook getting a mention in the Best Food/Drink Blog section, again this year sponsored by Bord Bia. Last year's awards took place in the International Airport Hotel in Cork so off I, plus Little Missy bump, toddled for that night's festivities, even if we had to go home a little earlier than the rest of the partygoers!
This year the Blog Awards are taking place on Saturday 27 of March in Galway's Radisson Blu hotel and, judging by the list of nominees, there will be plenty of competition on the night. Here is the list of nominees in my category - there's plenty of old favourites and newcomers to feast your eyes on - and you can see the rest of the categories and nominated blogs here.

Hey I'm in that list! Nice to be nominated - I subscribed to your RSS feed but not sure whether that'll give me regular updates - I am used to Blogger where you have a live stream of updates from followed blogs - my blog got nominated in best personal blog too as it's a bit of a general one as well as a foodie one.
This one looks nice - good luck!Where are you based in North Cork? We're neighbours so.
Regards, Catherine.
Lovely to meet you, Catherine, albeit virtually! I'm over near Kildorrery, North of Fermoy - where are you based? Congratulations on the nomination, and on the arrival of your new granddaughter.
Hi Caroline .Just wondering if we can vote for your blog
Wow, there's some serious contenders there! May the best foodie win!
Congrats! It's lovely to be on the list with yourself and all the other yummy foodies :)
Congrats Caroline, well done....if you win, can I get an autograph :-)
Elke
Hi Caroline, Good Luck!!! I hope you won especially over Ballymaloe. If you are over in London, Manchester, or Chester anytime between now and May or June let me know. At the moment we are living at Vale Royal Abbey in Whitegate uk.
Wendy
Rena: no voting, I'm afraid. All the decisions are made by anonymous judges - if they think the site is up to scratch!
English Mum & Aoife: the very best of luck to you both as well!
Elke: autographs? I don't think so!
Wendy: on the move again?! I'm a bit allergic to planes after the NZ/Vietnam trip but I'll definitely let you know if I make it over to the UK. Any plans to come over this direction?
hi Caroline, I am working on that one.
