Foraging, Cocktails, Tasty Trad and Sheer Temptation...Welcome to Week Two of the Virtual Festival of Food

Foraging, Cocktails, Tasty Trad and Sheer Temptation... Welcome to Week Two of the Virtual Festival of Food We've all been getting used to quieter times, and the Festival Team is counting ourselves lucky that we live in such a beautiful and peaceful part of the world. So we're delighted to bring you a further flavour with Week Two of the Virtual Food Festival. This week, we found out the sheer joy of wild garlic, so abundant right now (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), and as all that foraging put a thirst on us, we were thrilled to quench it courtesy of the inspired Strawberry Sour from the Blackwater Distillery (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram). Nicola and Dvir at Mezze showed us how to spread our wings and celebrate Mimouna - a traditional North African time of feasting - at home with hummus, flatbreads and pomegranate mimosas (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), and The Tannery's Paul Flynn gave us another feast with his Mediterranean inspired Lamb (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram). Nor did we forget your gaelgeoir dog (tá brón orainn, madra...), with a yummy dog biscuit recipe for your best buachaill (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). Woof woof! Right now, Stocktons Wing frontman Mike Hanrahan is presenting a virtual version of his Festival gig, including his legendary chowder, from his own living room via Facebook, and we're looking forward to sheer temptation from Dungarvan's 2Sisters and Legacy Cider tomorrow. Check back online, follow us on social media, post your own recipes and event suggestions with the #VirtualWWFOF2020 and #WWFoodatHome, or sign up here for your weekly Virtual Festival Round Up. In the meantime, please support your local businesses and continue to buy local where you can. Love from the team at The West Waterford Festival of Food
