Competitors from 20 countries were required to prepare dishes that used as many pure compounds as possible without fruits, vegetable, meat, fish or spices. The jury which included chef Patrick Terrien, Yolanda Rigault, Michael Pontif, and Sandrine Kault-Perrin, also evaluated the students on innovation, complexity and flavour. According to Dr. Roisin Burke, Senior Lecturer, TU Dublin, the dishes created by the two students met the judges' criteria. "David created a cocktail which appeared as Eggnog but tasted of bacon, and what appeared to be a bacon crisp but had a flavour of Eggnog. His main dish included a Note by Note beetroot protein cake, horseradish jelly and beetroot cremeaux. It was presented in the form of a meat muscle and put under a smoked filled lid." For her part, Eugenia created a Note by Note version of a breakfast dish with what appeared to be eggs, layered pork sausage and jellied beans, bacon flakes and the tomato element were created in the form of a Note by Note ‘Bloody Mary’ cocktail.

The sense you get from Beyond the Menu (RTÉ One, Monday, 7.30pm) is of a food pro- gramme that knows how to work with what it’s given. Presented by Mark Moriarty, (Culinary Arts Graduate, TU Dublin) a 27-year-old chef at the Michelin-starred Greenhouse restaurant, in Dublin, the show is a convivial pursuit of knowledge that, for the viewer, emulates the dining experience rather than the cooking one. It will tell you plenty about each of the chefs Moriarty visits, beginning with the terrifically ami- able Mark Jennings and his partner, Sadie Pearce, owners of Pilgrim’s in Rosscarbery, in west Cork. Your role couldn’t be clearer if the show pulled out a chair for you and laid a napkin across your lap. Just sit back and enjoy It will go into some detail about the provenance of the produce and quite a bit about the challenges of the business. But while it will conclude with a meal, in which Moriarty assists, Ireland’s new food royalty, though, are endearingly modest about it, and the show corresponds with their casual, unpretentious exteri- ors while still pursuing excellence. https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/tv-radio-web/beyond-the-menu- ireland-s-new-food-royalty-served-up-on-a-plate-1.4013686 Full extended article. Mark Jennings, Pilgrim’s Restaurant and Mark Moriarty (RTE Host) School Lecturer appears on Newstalk Documentary Brendan Keenan (Lecturer Culinary Arts, TU Dublin) and School Graduate Gavin McDonagh both appeared on Newstalk radio documentary recently titled ’Knives at Dawn’ . In this pro- gramme producer Francesca Lalor explored the world of the professional kitchen as seen through the eyes of Irish chefs. The working life of a professional chef involves long hours, split shifts, ferocious stamina, practiced skill, and above all, the quest for culinary perfection. 3 Research The fascinating 8,000-year history of Irish cuisine (Kate Hickey, Irish Central) ‘ How history, oral tradition and literature can remind us of Ireland's great tradition of food. What is the history of Irish food? It's much more than the potato. The first settlers arrived at Ireland’s coasts in 8000 BC, but the potato only arrived in Europe some 400 years ago. So what was it exactly our ances- tors lived on? On a magical evening in the Brewers Dining Hall at the Guinness Storehouse in James’ Gate, I had the pleasure of enjoying a sumptuous feast prepared Guinness Storehouse Executive Chef, Justin O’Connor. As well as a dinner of Irish food we had great entertainment in the presence of Irish food historian and TU Dublin Senior Lecturer Dr Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire. With snippets of food history, bardic recitation, and even a song, Mac Con Iomaire stirred the diners thoughts, to think of Ire- land’s food and what our forefathers would have eaten. “The first people who came here were hunter- gatherers. When they arrived in Ireland the country was covered in trees," said Mac Con Iomaire. “So those people made their way along the coast or in boats up the rivers and that's how they broke their way in. Archaeological evidence has shown us not only what Ireland's prehistoric residents ate but also how they lived. Mac Con Iomaire reminded us that those people of Ireland built Newgrange, in total alignment with the winter solstice, 500 years before the pyramids in Giza and 1,000 years before Stone- henge. He said, “They really knew their stuff and I think it's important to remember this. We come from a sophisticated people. Dr Mac Con Iomaire also highlighted the following; Seaweed superfood - a healthy new industry in Ireland, Irish scientists reveal how food can be used to treat depression and anxiety, Irish foods you won't easily find in America and the top reasons potatoes are a true superfood .

  • View Art at the Merrion
    Press Information THE ART OF THE MERRION Press Information: Sarah Glavey The Merrion, Dublin Tel: (353) 1 603 0600 Fax: (353) 1 603 0700 Email: [email protected] The spectacular collection of 19 th and 20 th Century Irish art hung throughout The Merrion, Dublin’s most luxurious 5-star hotel, is widely considered to be one of the most important in Ireland. Created from four magnificently restored Listed Georgian townhouses, the grace and elegance of The Merrion’s interior provides the perfect setting for the paintings. The result is a dramatic and successful marriage of classical architecture and contemporary art. True to the spirit of 18 th century arts patronage, Martin Mooney, one of Ireland’s finest young painters, was commissioned to paint a series of works for the elegant neo- classical stairwell in The Merrion’s Front Hall. The Front Hall remains much as it would have been when the house was built in the mid 18 th century. Plain white walls show off the original cornices and plasterwork, leaving Mooney’s murals as the main decorative feature. These, in subtle, warm colours, depict imaginary classical ruins, buildings and architectural details. The pronounced architectural element of Mooney’s style is particularly apt for The Merrion’s Georgian interior. After attending the University of Ulster, Mooney studied at Brighton Polytechnic, followed by a Post Graduate Degree at the Slade School of Fine Art, London. His work has been widely exhibited in both one-man and group exhibitions at galleries including The Solomon Gallery, Dublin; Waterman Fine Art, London; Theo Waddington Fine Art, London; The Royal Academy, London and The Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin.

The most expensive and highly renowned restaurants in the western world are predominantly French whereas, historically, Ireland has not traditionally associated with dining excellence. However, in 2011, the editor of Le Guide du Routard, Pierre Josse, noted that ‗the Irish dining experience is now as good, if not better, than anywhere in the world.‘ Nonetheless, Josse reminds us that ‗thirty years ago, when we first started the Irish edition, the food here was a disaster.

    New Irish cuisine A comprehensive study of its nature and recent popularity An MSc thesis New Irish cuisine A comprehensive study of its nature and recent popularity Pedro Martínez Noguera [email protected] 950723546110 Study program: MSc Food Technology (MFT) Specialisation: Gastronomy Course code: RSO-80433 Rural Sociology Supervisor: dr. Oona Morrow Examiner: prof.dr.ing. JSC Wiskerke June, 2020 Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to various people without whom nothing of this would have been possible. First, thank you Oona for your fantastic supervision. Digging into the sociology of food has been truly eye-opening. Second, many thanks to all the warmhearted Irish people I have had the pleasure to meet throughout this journey: chefs, foodies, colleagues of the postgrad office at UCC, and the marvelous friends I made in Cork and Galway. Third, thanks to Irene and Gio. Their generosity deserves space on these lines. Finally, this thesis is especially dedicated to my family, my brothers and particularly my parents, for their incalculable support and for having let me freely pursue all my dreams. 3 Abstract Irish gastronomy has experienced a great transformation in the last couple of decades. High-end restaurants have gone from being predominantly French or British throughout the 20th century to depicting today a distinctive Irish tone. I have referred to this fashion as new Irish cuisine (NIC), a concept that attempts to enclose all fine-dining ventures that serve modern Irish food in Ireland and their common cooking ethos. This research has aimed to investigate thoroughly the nature of this culinary identity from a Bourdieuian perspective and to contextualize its emergence.
