2009 Listowel Food Fair Launched
Listowel’s annual food fair will take place this year from 5th-8th November, 2009. The launch night celebrity chef is Kevin Dundon of Dunbrody House, Wexford who will give a cookery demonstration on the opening night. Kevin is well known from his TV appearances on The Afternoon Show, Gorilla Gourmet and Heat cookery programmes.
Earlier on the night an award ceremony which includes the National Farmhouse Cheese of the Year, the best New Food Product and the Irish Food Book of the Year will take place.
New for the 2009 Fair is the ‘Kerry Just Ask! Restaurant of the Year’ competition. Open to all restaurants in Kerry, Just Ask! is a public awareness campaign that aims to encourage consumers to look for information on where the food (particularly meat) on their plate comes from and to encourage chefs to provide this information on their menus.
Other items on this year's programme include childrens’ workshops, organic farming classes, Start your own Food Business seminar, a food trail, cake decorating workshops, farming seminars and more. Sunday’s annual Food and Craft market takes place from 10am to 5.30pm and the Fair finishes later that evening with a wine tasting event.
