\"SAVOUR<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019re hosting four panels over the weekend, all in the\u00a0National Craft Gallery<\/a>\u00a0where we hosted\u00a0a Banter session about Irish fashion<\/a>\u00a0at last year\u2019s Arts Festival. You\u2019ll find a bunch of food writers and commentators talking and musing about a whole range of topics.<\/p>\n

Writing about Food<\/strong>\u00a0(12.30pm)<\/p>\n

Being able to put together a great recipe is one thing, writing it in a way which makes the reader want to reach for their spices and larder staples is quite another. While we all can\u2019t be Nigel Slater, there is a definite upswing for people who can combine good writing with great food. An A to Z guide from\u00a0Dee Laffan<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Catherine Cleary<\/a>\u00a0about what it takes to turn a great dish into a great read.<\/p>\n

What will we be eating this time next year?<\/strong>\u00a0(2.30pm)<\/p>\n

Description: A decade ago, you\u2019d have been hard pressed to find ripe avocados or padron peppers in the aisles of your local supermarket. Go back even further in time and the list of foods which we now take for granted would be completely absent from the weekly shop. Chalk it down to more sophisticated palattes and widespread travel and the influence of such foodies as Yotam Ottolenghi and Thomasina Myers, but we\u2019re far more savvy eaters in 2014. As we reach peak burrito time, we ask\u00a0Yvonne Carty<\/a>,\u00a0Aoife Ryan<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Marie Claire Digby<\/a>\u00a0to tell us what comes next for our palattes.<\/p>\n

War Stories from the Kitchen<\/strong>\u00a0(12.30pm)<\/p>\n

Are the people who start cafes and restaurants mad, driven, crazy, otherwise unemployable or all of the above? Meet some of the people who\u2019ve already gone through all of those sleepless nights, stressful months and successful times to find out what drove them to open their doors to the public \u2013 and the restaurant reviewers who reveal what attracts them to a restaurant, what they like and what they dislike. The panel:\u00a0Denise McBrien<\/strong>\u00a0(Pichet<\/a>, Dublin), John Healy<\/a> (RTE The Restaurant<\/a>),\u00a0Paul O\u2019Connor<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Blathnaid Bergin<\/a>\u00a0(School of Restaurant & Kitchen Management).<\/p>\n

What\u2019s on your plate?<\/strong>\u00a0(2.30pm)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a question which more and more people are asking as issues of food miles, provenance and health become more commonplace. But in an age when huge reductions in the price of food mean we\u2019ve never had to pay less for the basics, do we actually give any thought to why those sweet potatoes or that chicken cost so little?\u00a0Fiona Dillon<\/a>\u00a0and \u00a0Yvonne Carty<\/a>\u00a0will discuss and dissect these points.<\/p>\n

Admission to all the Banter panels at Savour Kilkenny are free of charge. You\u2019ll find the full programme for the weekend\u00a0here<\/a>. Big thanks to Marian Flannery, Paul O\u2019Connor, Rose Mulvey and the Savour team for the invite and their help with this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
