The Menu: Bord Bia Marketing Fellowship Programme
Hardly a wet week into the New Year and The Menu’s predictions are already coming to pass with news that one of his hot tips for further success in 2013, Firehouse Bread School, on Heir Island in West Cork, has been shortlisted in the bread category at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards, for the co-authored Bread Revolution, written by Firehouse’s Patrick Ryan and Duncan Glendinning, the winner to be announced at the Paris awards dinner (Feb 23). The Menu reckons Bread Revolution, a charmingly informal introduction to the art of breadmaking, featuring decent recipes and solid technical tips, is in with more than a shout. The Mystic Menu is now off to Paddy Powers to bet the house on…? Anything at all, really, now he is officially in the prophecy business. www.thefirehouse.ie
