Donal Skehan returns with a second series of Kitchen Hero: Donal’s Irish Feast and travels to seven counties to find interesting food producers.  He visits counties Donegal, Antrim, Meath, Fermanagh, Cork, Down and Tipperary and selects a wide range of ingredients, including goat meat, apple brandy, chocolate, rape seed oil and craft beer from which he makes the delicious feasts.

 

Final programme: Cork

Donal heads for Cork this week and meets Declan Ryan of Arbutus Bread, the first chef  to be awarded a Michelin Star in Ireland.

 

In Kanturk he checks out McCarthy’s Black Pudding –  creators of Black Pudding which won a gold medal from The Brotherhood of the Knights of the Black Pudding in 2013 for ‘International Creativity’.

 

And Donal also discovers delicious Longueville House Irish Apple Brandy – made with apples from the Blackwater Valley and which can be used to make cocktails and a unique twist on an Irish coffee.

And for his FEAST in Longueville House Donal’s dishes include Sourdough Tartine with Blue Cheese & Roasted Honey Figs, McCarthy’s Bramley Apple Bangers with Parsnip & Leek Mash, Sage & Cider Gravy with Black Pudding Crumble, followed by Apple Frangipane Tart with Apple Brandy Syrup
