Finest food on offer at festival launch

Sunshine and fine food made last night’s launch of the Irish Examiner Food Festival a recipe for success.

Food lovers flocked to Cork’s Fitzgerald Park to sample some of the finest food and pick up some tips during demonstrations by celebrity chefs Rachel Allen and Andrew Rudd.

The event, which runs until Sunday, features the chefs from some of the city’s finest restaurants as well as showcasing local Cork producers.
