The Menu: A decade of celebrating top-class Irish food, restaurants and food producers

10 years ago, I was asked by my features editor to take over the ‘food news’ column. It was a pleasure to do so for I have a passion for Irish food and a deep-seated grá for those farmers, fishers, growers, producers, who work on both land and sea to yield some of the finest food to be had anywhere in the world.
Equally, I venerate the heroes of Irish hospitality, women and men who serve up this same superb produce with an empathetic creativity that now means you can eat world-class dishes the length and breadth of the country.
