Slow food fest
Kay Harte of the Farmgate Café in the Market tells me that another food event will be held in the English Market in October showcasing the best of market foods when they will launch the first book ever written about the market - this will be a historical account of Cork’s English Market written by Donal and Diarmuid O’Drisceoil.
Clodagh, who was born in Cork, spent four years doing business studies in NYU in New York City. She was blown away by the variety of eating options in New York, particularly the huge ready-to-go food business, and when she returned to Ireland,& she became even more passionate about the need to source really good quality produce. A stint in Ballymaloe House working closely with my mother-in-law Myrtle Allen at the Midleton Farmers Market followed, and she gradually took over the stall from Myrtle.
