CORK RESTAURANT GROUP GO GOURMET
The Cork Restaurant
Marketing Group has announced a Gourmet Weekend for next weekend, something of
an upgrade on the previous promotion Dine in Cork Week.
But the hard–working
group are not stopping at that and last Thursday, in the Rising Tide, they announced
the launch of Dine Out In Cork, an annual magazine to highlight the more than twenty
restaurants that have banded together in the project..
It is designed to
promote Cork as not only the Food Capital of Ireland but also as a food
destination from abroad and will have a wide circulation, including hotels and tourist
offices.
Spokesperson Sylvia
Meulmeester told me there are plans for a Cork International Gourmet Week next
year, following the success of the Cork Gourmet Trail. The proposed week-long
event would incorporate the promotion of Cork city as a dining experience.
The magazine is being
finalised at present and is due to be published on December 1st. Before
that Sylvia will be working on the imminent Gourmet Weekend. Details and
recipes (and competitions for tickets) will be published here.
The Rising Tide’s Sandra Murphy (right) proved
a gracious host. The apprentice star was in tip top form and so too was the kitchen
that supplied us with tray after tray of really classy canapés.
Sandra will be hosting a Hired or
Fired Dinner Party (7.00pm) this coming Monday (7th) and that should be fun,
and good value too: three courses, a glass of wine and the Apprentice on the telly
( from 9.00pm), and a hostess with the inside track, all for €20.00.
