Gourmand Cookbook Awards

Huge congrats to chef Neven Maguire for the award he collected in Paris at the recent Gourmand International Awards. 'Homechef' won the best chef cookbook for Ireland which is a great achievement. I'm still trying to burn off the calories from eating every recipe in the book last year when testing, but I can vouch that everything is most definitely worth trying!

Also, congrats to Ely restaurant who's cookbook came 2nd in the world for best book on matching food and wine, as well as best book in Ireland for matching food and wine and then best wine book for Ireland too!

Hope you enjoy yourself in Cavan, you should check out some of our lovely heritage when your up in Blacklion, the Cavan Burren isn't far away, its a real tranquil place and there are wonderful views of Cavan, Leitrim and Fermanagh. Florencourt House and gardens are beautiful too :) I sound like a tourist officer now..

All things nice...
