The Leeside ladies Ali Honour of Ali’s Kitchen and Kate Lawlor of Fenn’s Quay head for the Big Smoke for the third in a series of dinners to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the formation of Euro-Toques Ireland, all cooked by the chef-members themselves. 

The Irish Food Writers’ Guild announced the annual selection of the best of Irish producers and food heroes.

The bould Neidín is hardly a very wet week back from his winter sojourn in St Tropez and The Menu is saddling him up once more, this time for a gallop of the west coast to Knockranny House Hotel, for the Wine Producers’ Weekend (February 26-27). 

The Menu is very honoured to be joining the renowned food writer Lilly Higgins, Bakestone chef/proprietor Ali Honour and Iyer’s Café chef/proprietor, Gautham Iyer, to deliver an exclusive multi-course cooking demo, one course apiece (June 27), in the Brennan’s Cookery School, in Cork, with a healthy sample of each dish for all in the audience.

While The Menu remains forever enraptured by our glorious West coast, he knows full well that man does not live on scenery alone...

Sugar & Spice is a wonderful cooking competition& open to all ages and all levels of experience in aid of the very excellent Cork-based Hope Foundation charity, which works with deprived street children in Kolkata, India.
