Chefs and foodies descend on Litfest

The organisers of the Ballymaloe Literary Festival of Food and Wine, which is running throughout this bank holiday weekend, say it will bring some of the world’s best known chefs, critics, commentators, kitchen gardeners, foragers, and wine experts to East Cork.

As well as readings, talks, and panel discussions, Litfest will feature demonstrations, tastings, producer visits, foraging expeditions, lunches, and dinners.

Among the speakers will be Darina and Myrtle Allen, Madhur Jaffrey, Neven Maguire, and British food writer, critic, and the star of television’s Great British Menu, Matthew Fort.
