How to Celebrate a Luxurious St. Patrick’s Day This Year

Saint Patrick’s Day is nearly upon us, and at Dandelion Chandelier we’re excited to celebrate it with our friends. As you know, we freely invite ourselves to every good party, and this one is no exception.

Pretty well anything that will allow us to escape into the world of food and life in the kitchen.
