After his colourful trip to the Basque Country last Autumn, Neven’s Food Trails is back, and this time Neven is travelling through Ireland.
His home for this brand new seven part series is the Shannon Princess, a hotel barge located in Lough Ree, the ideal base from which to explore the country.
During the seven episodes, Neven visits counties Longford, Limerick, Dublin, Cork, Wicklow, Wexford, Tipperary and Kilkenny. Along the way he meets a fascinating and diverse collection of chefs, craftsmen and food producers. Back on board the Shannon Princess, Neven demonstrates his own recipes.
