Food fest stirring up tasty recipe for success

IT has all the ingredients to be one of the country’s tastiest festivals this year.

The fifth annual Taste of West Cork festival was launched by celebrity chef Clodagh McKenna yesterday with an extended calendar of events taking place over six days.

Up to 5,000 people are expected to attend the event’s food market — one of the highlights of the festival, which takes place in Skibbereen, Co Cork, from September 16 to 21.
