Darina Allen: Three recipe highlights from the Ballymaloe Festival of Food

Chefs, food writers and activists came from all over these islands and from as far away as New Zealand

So much to see and do at the Ballymaloe Festival of Food

We had the best weekend a few weeks ago at the Ballymaloe Festival of Food. There was so much going on that it’s taken until now to fully process the talks, demonstrations, dinners, wine tastings and artisan producer stalls.

We were so grateful to the many sponsors including Kerrygold who proudly headline sponsored the event. I’ve always been a butter fan. As you may know, I was dubbed ‘The Butter Queen of Ireland’ long before the Simply Delicious series, when the low fat mania was in full swing (hope you know you were duped!).
