The Menu: Taste Cork, Dublin Cocktail Festival, Munster Wine & Dine Circle

An inspired initiative, Taste Cork (Oct 10-16) comes to fruition over the coming days with multiple and most excellent epicurean events illustrating the continued vibrancy of Leeside hospitality.

Bandon-based Urru up sticks and transport their culinary emporium to Cork’s Bridge St, to one of the original Barry’s Tea outlets for An Edible Story of Cork Food & Drink, Past & Present, a pop-up lunch, each sitting hosted by a featured West Cork producer.

Takashi Miyazaki joins forces with fellow Cork-based chef Ali Honour in her splendid Ali’s Kitchen on Paul St for a keenly-anticipated fusion pop-up while Kevin Aherne, chef/proprietor of Sage Restaurant delivers a CIT demo on Modern Irish Cooking Techniques.
