The Irish International Fashion & Food Summit

26/10/2017

Day One - 9:30-10:15

The Future of Irish Food – A View from out Foreign
With Mickael Viljanen (Greenhouse) Phillippe Farineau (Ashford) Stefan Matz

Arriving to Ireland in 1990 I have been involved in and experienced the great changes within the Irish Hospitality Industry and the Irish Food Culture throughout the last 25 years. Ireland has been transformed and evolved through the hard work of many people in the industry who have been passionate about the country, its produce and people.

25 Years ago Ireland had no real food scene or even a food product to highlight to the international markets which has completely changed. Now Ireland can be regarded as food destination with many establishments and chefs to showcase and we can be proud of Ireland as a country for its food and services.

Finn will be organising a cooking demo using an array of surprising ingredients to create amazing healthy dishes full of flavour and inspired by the sea here in the North West.

Finn is a cookbook author, private chef and marine scientist. She lives on the wild west coast of Ireland where she surfs, cooks and practices the idea of doing what you love and loving what you eat. Finn draws on her personal experience as a coeliac, her background in marine science and her culinary arts training to create dishes - inspired by the sea and her active life - that are delicious, easy to make and affordable.

Her mission is to ensure that gluten free (and healthy!) doesn't mean you're comprising on taste, spending hours in the kitchen or tons of money on your groceries. Her bestselling cookbook Finn’s World was released in April of 2017.

The event takes place at the Clayton Hotel from 7.30pm on Friday 3rd and is Free Entry for those attending the summit.
