Online and in the shops: Recipe Competition

Celebrity chef Neven Maguire, pictured, is asking parents to submit recipes for the First 1,000 Days Parents Recipe Competition which is in search of the best recipes for the first 1,000 days of life — pregnancy, breastfeeding, weaning and up to two years of age.

The competition runs until October and in total, there will be six winners with each winner plus a friend, getting an opportunity to attend Neven’s new cookery school in Blacklion, Co Cavan for a day in November, plus an overnight stay in Farnham Estate Hotel.

Recipes will also be featured in the First 1,000 Days recipe book. Recipes can be submitted to www.first1000days.ie
