Festival to serve up Cork’s finest fare

SOME of the country’s top chefs will serve up their signature dishes on the banks of the Lee next month as the southern capital celebrates its renowned food culture.

Details of Cork’s TasteFest were unveiled last night just days after Queen Elizabeth’s historic visit to the landmark English Market put the spotlight on the region’s artisan food producers and their produce.

Tourism chiefs are hoping that TasteFest will help entice more visitors to the city and cement its reputation as the food capital of Ireland.
