BALLYMALOE LITFEST

The Menu: Ballymaloe Litfest, Culinary Arts Management course and Galway Gourmet Picnic

Elsewhere in this magazine, festival director Rory O’Connell makes mention of ‘Litfest’s ‘impact’ on past attendees. One of those previously ‘impacted’ was Charlotte Pike, a young Englishwoman and former student of Ballymaloe Cookery School, whom The Menu recalls as a most obliging volunteer. Charlotte, like many others, was blown away by the contribution of fermentation guru Sandor Katz, and subsequently went on to write a very handy little introductory primer on the subject.

Charlotte’s latest book, Smoked (Kyle Books), is another beginner’s guide to another equally ancient method of cooking and preserving food.
