Vegetarian chef eyes carnivores in gourmet night

A TOP vegetarian chef took the bull by the horns at the country’s biggest beef marts to tempt cattle farmers and dealers with his award-winning cooking.

Renowned chef Denis Cotter, who runs the internationally recognised vegetarian restaurant Cafe Paradiso in Cork city, spent a week at Bandon Mart in Co Cork filming his efforts for TV series Guerrilla Gourmet.

The show, which starts tomorrow night, challenges six leading chefs to create a menu in unusual settings for diners who don’t usually try their food.
