Shanagarry shoots for the stars

René Redzepi and Yotam Ottolenghi have been booked for Ballymaloe LitFest 2014.

Shanagarry shoots for the stars

Irish foodie news doesn’t get bigger than this — Redzepi is head chef at Noma in Copenhagen, three times voted the World’s Best Restaurant; Ottolenghi the iconic Israeli chef whose delis, books and restaurants have taken the world by storm. The pair are set to headline a programme of 50 events running from May 16-18 next, confirming LitFest as one of Europe’s top foodie festivals… just six short months after its debut. The bookings are a credit to the dynamism and vision of Darina Allen (not to mention her little black book of contacts), and an indication of the esteem in which she’s held overseas. If you’re looking for an early stocking filler, gift vouchers are available (starting at €50). Tel: 021 464-5777; litfest.ie.
