One of the first things I did when we went into the Great Lockdown, which of course we all now know was in fact Lockdown 1, was order an Allta box. I wasn’t quite sure whether my delivery would be on a Thursday or Friday, and at what time. So as I drop in to collect my weekend treat, I can’t actually recall if this is my sixth or seventh Allta box. irishtimes.com/foodmonthGenerally, it has something interesting incorporated into it, this time it’s a touch of seaweed, which goes incredibly well with their shiitake miso butter, which is the culinary crack of 2020. The Allta box normally has two pasta-inspired courses, this week it is gnocchi made with Rockfield sheep’s cheese and Ballymakenny potatoes, and lamb rigatoni.
