Ryes and Shine Dazzle Every Single Bake
Superb Sourdough Breads, Sandwiches and other Treats
You never quite know what you’ll buy when you visit Angela Nöthlings at her stall at the Coal Quay Market (Saturday morning, 9.00 am to 1.00pm) and outside Henchy’s St Luke’s Cross (12.00 to 2.00pm Wednesday). But it does help to look out for the info on the changing menu that regularly appears on Angela’s Instagram ryes.and.shine.cork
I did just that this week before I called to St Luke’s on a very wet Wednesday. I noticed a new offering, the Irish Bloomer. The Mayfield based German micro-bakery specialises in rye sourdough breads.
Emma Clatterbuck of Oak Farm: “We grow the grain pesticide-free on land that is now under conversion to organic….We produce the strong stoneground flour with full control from start to finish….All our flour is stone-milled at our newly built facility located in the Old Creamery building in the village of Piltown in south Co. Kilkenny close to Waterford City”.
Angela is delighted with it and reckons it will get even better as she gets to know its characteristics. It is a little darker than the usual, has an attractive nutty flavour and is high in protein, minerals and the B Vitamins. A great crumb and crust and our first Irish Bloomer won’t be our last!

She had a rapidly dwindling but attractive display of her focaccia sandwiches. She uses different fillings from time to time. There were two on offer this week. One was loaded with salami and rocket while the other featured Dubliner cheese and rocket.
They cost €6.50 each and, lacking in neither quality nor quantity, made for a superb lunch - we certainly enjoyed them. By the way, for a couple of euros less, you can buy a portion of the focaccia and add your own filling at home.
