Darina Allen: Euro-Toques awards showcase the best of Irish produce

"This year, six awards were presented — in Water, Land, Farm, Dairy, Artisan Produce, and Craft categories - two Cork producers were among the six prestigious award-winners."

Darina Allen's recipe selections this week.

The Euro-Toques Food Awards are back after an absence of three years (2020 was a virtual event due to covid).

The awards were established in 1996 by my lovely mother-in-law Myrtle Allen, one of the great pioneers of local food, to recognise and celebrate the very best food Ireland produces.
