GETTING AWAY FROM IT ALL


The sun is out and it’s enough to start us thinking about booking a break away. Haven’t we endured enough storms this past winter to last us a lifetime! Our very own Good Food Ireland Founder Margaret Jeffares was full of the joys of spring when she spoke about food travel in Ireland on the Irish Times Travel Show a short while ago.  Her lively chat with presenter Joan Scales was all about and where to go to for the best holiday experience. Margaret has travelled Ireland’s highways and byways, and particular the byways, to find something special in food and surroundings off the beaten track. Scenic areas like Dingle in Kerry, Duncannon in Co Wexford, rural Tipperary, and busy market towns like Kanturk or Midleton in Cork got a mention for members who offer the surprise element in service, ambience and food. As Margeret says in this inteveiw, ‘these places are gems!’ No finer woman to tell us where to go this spring with the Easter break fast approaching. Listen to her full interview here and get a taste for her enthusiasm for Irish food on this link.
