Midleton Food and Drink Festival is a major achievement for the East Cork area and for the organisers, with over 25,000 people attending the Festival annually since its launch in 2004. 

THE only people under 50 who drink whiskey are prats.

THE owner of the pristine Ard na Gowan admits to loving the heat – and that’s why she’s on the way to northern Italy to live.

Last week’s recipe for Willie Scannell’s Gratin of Potato and Wild Mushrooms featured a number of mistaken fractions and measures due to a technical error.

LAST year's inaugural Midleton Food and Drink Festival was a remarkable success. Some of the responses from stallholders included, "way over our expectations", "professionally managed and organised", "a resounding success."

Two new recipe booklets to encourage use of Irish Speciality and Artisan Foods have recently been published by Estragon Press and supported by Bord Bia.
