1. On the Pig’s Back

Specialising in ‘Cork Fayre with French Flair’ since 1992, Isabelle Sheridan has earned a special place in Irish hearts for her wonderful charcuterie — notably her pâtés and terrines — and for the Irish and French artisan foods that she sells alongside them at her shops (English Market; Douglas) and speciality shops around the country. Whether for yourself or a gift, the luxurious Duck Liver Pâté with Port is an obvious choice for the festive season, but any product from her range is sure to enhance your Christmas menus.
