John Torode’s Ireland

Broadcast Details: Friday 21st July, 8.30pm

In this 6-part journey Masterchef Judge John Torode tours, tastes and cooks his way through a country which boasts some of the best produce on earth and where the food scene is now buzzing. John finds great dishes everywhere from Michelin-starred restaurants in Dublin and Galway to cosy local pubs on the Wild Atlantic Way to a pig farmer’s home kitchen.

EPISODE 4 – KINSALE AND DINGLE ON THE WILD ATLANTIC WAY 

John hits the Wild Atlantic Way and two seaside towns with huge food reputations. In Cork’s Kinsale, local restaurateur Martin Shanahan takes him on a food tour and they make the ultimate fish soup from freshly caught fish back at Martin’s restaurant. John does a tasting of the oldest alcoholic drink in the world and finds out why it’s making a comeback.  He then heads down the coast to County Kerry. In magical Dingle, he samples some award-winning toasties and Irish Whiskey Ice Cream, before getting a recipe for a distinctly Irish tapas dish.
