Waterford food festival to tempt palates with local treasures

THE tempting aroma of the best of locally produced food will fill the air in Dungarvan for three days in April when gourmet and culinary whizzes from across the country gather in the coastal town.

Among the line-up of chefs and guest speakers for the first-ever Waterford Festival of Food are Richard Corrigan, Paul Flynn, Darina Allen, Regina Sexton and Biddy White Lennon.

The festival takes place on April 11, 12 and 13 and will be opened by Social Affairs Minister Martin Cullen, with food trails criss-crossing the town between restaurants.
