Cork food festival to add a bit spice to weekend

A giant vegetable chilli made from food grown in community gardens across Cork city will be rustled up this weekend as part of a special food festival.

The dish, which will be served in Fitzgerald’s Park tomorrow to mark World Food Day Feast, is expected to be large enough to feed up to 500 people.

And today, attendees at a workshop on growing bee-friendly plants will sample smoothies made from fruit grown by teenagers from Ringmahon Rangers soccer club at their garden at Bessborough.
