Rhubarb Fool with Cardamom Cream and Pistachios

There’s great excitement at Ballymaloe this weekend for the third Kerrygold Ballymaloe Literary Festival of Food and Wine, which by now is affectionately known as the LitFest, a mega two day celebration of great food and drink and food writing. 

Participants and food lovers are pouring in from all over the world to meet and hear their favourite cooks and chefs. Others will want to meet icons of the beverage world. Check out www.litfest.ie  for details.

If you’re not already on your way, you’ll have missed Sam & Sam Clark of Moro, Allegra McEvedy and April Bloomfield from The Spotted Pig in New York. Charlotte Pike’s session on Fermented Foods is also at the Ballymaloe Cookery School at 3pm in Demo Theatre 2.
