The Menu: Hannah Conroy is Cork's next culinary superstar

Plus: Georgina Campbell guides, a decade of Dingle Gin, and Proper Chocolate Spread

Hannah Conroy is this year's winner of Knorr Professional Student Chef of the Year

A name for the future

There are more than a few food-related and culinary competitions out there and unsurprisingly they vary in both importance, relevance and integrity which is why The Menu is quite careful about those he chooses to cover. However, the Knorr Professional Student Chef of the Year competition, now in its 25th year, is undoubtedly one of the better ones, keenly contested each year by second-year culinary students from all around Ireland.
