Masterchef Mary to savour the flavours of food fest

NEWLY-crowned Masterchef Ireland champion Mary Carney will turn the tables on her counterparts when she appears at the Savour Kilkenny Food Festival over the October bank holiday weekend.

The 28-year-old culinary star from Waterford is to swap the pressure of labouring over a hot stove for a place as a guest judge, alongside top chef Catherine Fulvio at the Savour Kilkenny Masterchef Final.

Mary and Catherine will put contestants through their paces in the cook-off which takes place in the Set Theatre on Sunday, October 30.
