Weekend food with Darina Allen

WE HAD a terrific day last Saturday as the winners of the Slow Food Grandmothers Day Irish Examiner Competition — six grandchildren, four grannies and a couple of mums — arrived to enjoy their prize, a day at the Ballymaloe Cookery School and Gardens.

They had sent in their favourite recipes that Gran or Nana cooked.

We had a lovely response and the usual challenge to choose the winners. We did well.
