About this Event

Ireland has enjoyed a rebirth of interest in traditional food skills over the last decade. In many cases, food skills used by our forefathers have been taken up by a new wave of producers and revived to create products that have been highly successful.

This seminar will explore Ireland’s legacy of traditional food skills and how these can
have a role in modern-day innovation.

 

Meet the Makers

The event will also include an opportunity to meet with artisan producers who are
using traditional skills to create their products. These producers will showcase their
products.

 

Who Should Attend

This event will inspire any food stakeholder from the following sectors, food producers,
foodservice operators and those with an interest in Ireland’s food heritage.
