Donal Skehan on reconnecting with Irish food in West Cork

Donal Skehan headed to West Cork with Nico Reynolds earlier this summer in search of some of the area's finest ingredients.

A lot of cooking shows are full of cheese, but Donal Skehan’s latest gig may just be his gooeyist yet. The renowned chef is fresh off the Wild Atlantic Way when he picks up the phone, trying but failing to enjoy some time off.

"We had this idea of a food-centered road trip and we were humming and hawing as to where to go. It was obvious that we needed to go to West Cork. It's the home of great Irish food. I had been down only a couple of weeks beforehand and I knew we had to go back," he says.
