A brand new recipe book has been cooked up by ‘A Taste of Ballyhoura Country’, a brand made up of innovative ‘craftisan’ food and drink producers from South and East County Limerick and North East County Cork. The beautifully designed book showcases the many ways to use tasty items from the ‘A Taste of Ballyhoura Country’ range which includes Ballyhoura Apple Farm, Clotilde’s Fruit Compôtes, Eight Degrees Brewing, Hodgins Foods, Horgan’s Delicatessen Supplies, Old Irish Creamery Cheeses and Pandora Bell Confectionery. The goal of the recipe book is both to showcase the ‘A Taste of Ballyhoura Country’ produce and to inspire both professional and home cooks alike to incorporate local artisan produce into their cooking.
