Edinburgh's 'Brazil-in-a-box' is a must visit lunch spot
As for Edinburgh? There's a little spot that describes itself as 'Brazil-in-a-box', bringing a taste of South America to the capital city. Located in a green police box on Lauriston Place, at Tupiniquim you'll find a menu of savoury crêpes filled with fresh, healthy ingredients that the team promises will 'brighten up your day'. Taking some time to scout out quick bites near popular Fringe venues, this place is first on my list after spotting an impressive run of five-star reviews online. If anything can improve my mood after a morning of ducking and weaving through the crowds of summertime tourists prone to stopping for selfies midstep, I figure this will be it. It all begins with the batter at Tupiniquim, a blend of rice, tapioca starch, maize, buckwheat and potato flours with added eggs and milk. It's a naturally gluten-free recipe which can easily be made vegan by switching to almond milk. A win for inclusive eating. With my plant-based days far behind me, however, I'm drawn to a less veggie-friendly filling dubbed 'Release the Chicken' (£11.30) with pulled chicken breast, gooey mozzarella, avocado, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, and spinach. Prepared on a smoking hot griddle, the thin crêpe is given the chance to bubble as it cooks, creating a crisp outer layer that will hold up when packed with sauce and molten cheese. Pictured: The 'Release the Chicken' with pulled chicken breast, mozzarella, avocado, sweet corn, spinach, and both semi-dried and cherry tomatoes (Image: Newsquest) 'Would you like it spicy?', a member of the two-person team in charge asks at some point during the speedy preparation process. Not one to back down from a challenge, my response is a firm yes. Perhaps they wisely called my bluff, because when the hefty finished product is handed over, there's a gentle buzz of heat from added jalapenos rather than a wave of spice guaranteed to trigger an embarrassing fit of hiccups in front of a crowded outdoor seating area. It's just right, and despite a blanket of melted cheese, this veggie and protein-packed wrap still feels like a more nourishing lunch option than some of the deep-fried, you'll find at other street food vendors in the city. Read more: I learn later that this was owners Fernando and Gardenia's main aim for Tupiniquim when launching the business in 2010 after moving from Brazil to Edinburgh. To this day, their belief remains that "healthy and delicious food should be an experience accessible to everyone, anywhere and anytime". A truly healthy lifestyle is, of course, all about balance, so on the menu there is also a selection of sweet crepes ranging from banana, cinnamon and pecans to Dulce de Leche and a splash of Baileys. Lacking a sweet tooth, more interesting to me is the Feijoada, a popular Brazilian dish described as a rich and smoky black bean stew made with pork ribs, pork belly and smoked sausage atop rice and stir-fried green beans. This special is only available on Saturdays, so there will be no chance to put this to the test today. That's probably for the best, as it would take an appetite more ambitious than mine to tackle two orders from this place. But after my first experience of this tiny little kitchen in the heart of the Fringe action, I'm far from disappointed with the prospect of a return trip. Tupiniquim is located at the Green Police Box on Lauriston Place, Edinburgh. Find them on social media @tupiniquim_brasilcrepes.

Beloved Baileys Irish Cream cows from Wicklow to star in new film
The latest offering by the Carlow director is his love letter to Irish produce, featuring surprising discoveries, connections and Irish influences across the globe, from Prince Albert of Monaco's ties to the Guinness family to our underappreciated contributions to wine making. Surprising viewers who think of Ireland as just the home of Guinness and Irish stew, the cast of A Sip of Irish includes a range of artisans and public figures, including Midleton whiskey blender Deirdre O'Carroll, Donegal-based Muff Liquor Co in which Russell Crowe is a proud investor and chefs Anna Haugh and JR Ryall of Ballymaloe, along with Una Healy, Ryan Tubridy, Laura Whitmore, winemaker Michael Flatley (founder of Flatley Whiskey) and Pat Shortt. Easily among the most colourful and captivating characters in the stellar cast, Tinahely farmer Joe Hayden and his herd of Holstein Friesian cows take centre stage in the first segment of the film, which premieres in the Tinahely Courthouse Arts Centre on August 1. Although he has worked with the likes of Ian McKellen and Judi Dench on Quintessentially British, and with Stephen Fry in Sparkling: The Story of Champagne, Frank said that the day spent filming on the unique Baileys Farm, where Joe's cows receive a full spa treatment, will live long in his memory. 'The film celebrates Ireland's contribution to the drinks and culinary world, and I wanted to find surprising stories for familiar products,' Frank began. 'It looks at whiskey, stout, artisan brands like Scraggy Bay and Muff Liquor, and also Bailey's Irish Cream. Ultimately, the film is an entertaining origin story for all those products. 'With Baileys, I thought, we know it's really popular. We know it's 50pc cream. We know it has sold two billion bottles around the world. But what don't we know? Where is it actually made? 'I discovered that the quintessential Baileys dairy farm is called the Baileys Farm in Tinahely, County Wicklow, and there's an amazing, dynamic farmer there called Joe Hayden who has won many awards for his Holstein Friesian cows. 'He has 230 cows that produce the cream for Baileys Irish Cream. He doesn't call them 'his herd' or 'his cows', but rather his 'Bailey's ladies', and he treats them as such. 'You often hear of racehorses being treated better than humans. And in a way, Joe has almost like a spa treatment set up for his cows because his philosophy is that a happy cow is more productive, which is a fact. A happy cow will produce better quality milk. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more 'He plays music to his cows. So, when they're in the milking parlour, the cows have to listen to his taste in music, which is The Killers, Bruce Springsteen, and Coldplay. He had a saxophonist there last week, and they seemed to like it. He thinks it makes them more productive, and he's probably right. 'When I went to the farm, I thought, this is amazing, Joe is a very forward-looking farmer with lots of interesting methods – I must be the first to have come here to put him and the Baileys Ladies on camera. But no, last month he had the Real Housewives of Orange County pay him a visit. So, the secret is out!' Delighted to have contributed to the production, Joe said that it was a privilege to collaborate with 'gentleman' Frank on a project that will place a global spotlight on Wicklow and its long-standing ties to products that have put Irish food and drinks on the map. 'This film is going to be huge for the Baileys Farm, and it's going to be a huge thing for Wicklow and Tinahely,' he said. 'To be featured in such a way, and to get the whole first segment of the film dedicated to us, it's fantastic for the county. 'Frank spent the day down here. He is a very interesting individual, and I really enjoyed working with him. An absolute professional, and a gentleman to boot. 'I wasn't sure how he was going to knit everything together, but the film is very cleverly done. The way Frank has woven the story of the Irish influences into everything from Hennessy to Californian white wine development – he's a very clever guy. I suppose, like in a lot of things, Ireland punches well above its weight. 'I've seen the film a few times, and every time I look at it, I enjoy it more. It's going to be very good for giving Wicklow exposure across the globe and for the business here, and I'm thoroughly looking forward to the premiere.' Just down the road from Joe's farm, Frank and his crew visited St Patrick's Well, which was supposedly visited by St Patrick in the fifth century, and is the most southerly point in Ireland he is known to have travelled to. As Frank explained, the reason he wanted to film there was to establish a connection with Prince Albert of Monaco, who has a paternal connection to the Guinness family on the Grimaldi side of the family. 'We came to shoot in Wicklow because there are two great locations right next to each other that tell very interesting stories that very little is known about,' he said. 'We spoke to Prince Albert in the film, as one of his ancestors married into the Guinness family, so he joked with us that he considers Guinness the family drink! 'Before coming to Ireland, St Patrick was educated at the Lérins Islands, which are just off the coast of Cannes, off the coast of Monaco. 'So in the film, we segue from Saint Patrick's Well in Wicklow to Monaco and Prince Albert talking about how two of his ancestors were the principal abbots of Lérins Monastery, where the monks make really nice red wine to this day. 'Another little-known story is the wine geese, these dynamic Irishmen from Galway, Tipperary and Kildare who left Ireland in predominantly the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for France and set up vineyards that are still world famous to this day, including Lynch-Bages, Phélan Ségur, and Léoville Barton. 'So, again, of course, we're known for Guinness, stout, and whiskey, but in the film, we say, well, we should be known for wine as well. 'And Hennessy Cognac, as Richard Hennessy was from Cork, and we tell that story of how he ended up in Cognac having fought for the French King Louis XV against the English at the Battle of Fontenoy.' A Sip of Irish will premiere at the Tinahely Courthouse Arts Centre on Friday, August 1, at 8pm. Tickets are €8/€6 and available to the public via An additional public screening will take place on the same day at Carlow County Library at 3pm. There will be a reception sponsored by Baileys at both screenings. The film will be released on digital platforms, including Amazon Prime and iTunes, on August 2.

Baileys launches new ‘epic' flavour in UK with a twist – but it's only available at 600 supermarkets

Shoppers who don't have a Sainsbury's near them can buy bottles of the new Baileys flavour at other lesser-known retailers online. The Whisky World is selling a 500ml bottle for £18.90 while The Drink Supermarket is selling the same size for £17.99. That makes Sainsbury's the cheapest option as its 700ml bottle is £2.80 per 100ml, instead of £3.60 per 100ml or more at the two above retailers. Shoppers not so keen on the new Cinnamon Swirl flavour can get a classic 700ml bottle of Baileys cheapest at B&M for £14.
