A taste of Kerry: At home with chef Mark Moriarty and recipes for his favourite home-cooked meals

Mark Moriarty returns to the kitchen of his family home in Ventry

Mark Moriarty shares his recipes for spatchcock chicken, farfalle with pork, and a raspberry & vanilla puff tart

The Off Duty Chef Mark Moriarty has taken his ventures beyond the kitchen this season, as his latest cookery series on RTÉ One brings us to Ventry in Co Kerry. A believer that good food starts at home, he takes viewers into his parents’ kitchen, exploring the coast and countryside that have inspired some of his favourite dishes. 

Mark’s approach to Off Duty Chef recipes is simple: using easy-to-find ingredients, familiar dishes that bring comfort, celebrating the best of Irish produce where possible, and making dishes achievable for both beginner and experienced home cooks.
