The Menu: Irish Food Writers' Guild
The Menu was delighted to tie Neidín to a hitching post near the salubrious surroundings of Patrick Guilbaud’s Michelin-starred establishment in Dublin to reconvene once more with his peers in the Irish Food Writers’ Guild for the announcement of the premier Irish food awards, the Guild’s annual selection of the very best of Irish producers and food heroes.
Honoured this year were: Mossfield Organic Milk (and do also check out their utterly sublime cheeses); Wild Irish Foragers and their range of wild and foraged preserves; Silver Darlings Pickled Herring, from Limerick; Cuilan Loughnane, the craft brewer’s brewer and his White Gypsy Russian Imperial Stout; the environmental award to Highbank Organic Orchards; and an award for his special contribution to Irish food to Joe Fitzmaurice of Riot Rye Bakehouse and Bread School, in Cloughjordan. www.irishfoodwritersguild.ie
