It was another mighty Munster showing in the West yesterday at the 2025 Euro-Toques Ireland Food Awards, held in Ashford Castle Estate, in Co Mayo, as three of seven awards on offer went to food producers from the Southern province with many other Munster producers amongst the nominees.
Euro-Toques Ireland, founded in 1986 by Myrtle Allen, is the Irish chapter of a European-wide chefs-led organisation dedicated to preserving and championing local food culture, traditional food craft and gastronomy, and the Irish awards carry a special prestige as chef members, numbering some of Ireland’s finest, nominate and then vote on eventual award winners.
