Waterford tucks into its first Festival of Food

WATERFORD’s first-ever Festival of Food kicks off tonight, with foodies young and old well catered for over the weekend.

An array of events and entertainment has been lined up by the organisers for the inaugural event, which will be officially opened in Dungarvan tonight by Minister Martin Cullen.

Celebrity chefs Richard Corrigan, Darina Allen and Paul Flynn will be on hand over the weekend to demonstrate their skills and pass off some of their knowledge to food fans. The festival will feature food trails across Dungarvan, as well as tasting sessions, cooking workshops, and arts and crafts markets.
