Dingle food festival 2015

This year for the second year I was invited down to the Dingle food and wine  festival so myself and Vicki set off on  a fantastic weekend that is in its 9th year full of workshops cooking demos discussions and a fantastic food trail that takes you around the town and what fun it was to wander around taking in the atmosphere the food and the drink 

Such a variety of food and a fab map of where to go and what dishes are being sold in each venue from art galleries to book shops to restaurants all taking part in the trail 

The excitement meeting suppliers who are involved in the Blas na hEireann awards which run alongside the food festival this year I stood in forTom Durcan to collect his silver award for his spiced beef 

On Sunday in benders hotel I took part in the demos and really enjoyed it

Before it was time to head back east a last stroll around the town was had taking in the atmosphere the fun the banter the festival was buzzing a great place to catch up with new and old friends of the industry to gain knowledge and experience and the warmest of welcomes 

And with a spin up the Conor pass it was time to head home to Cork
