Myrtle Allen’s dog eared cookbook was passed to me by my grandmother,a Home Economics teacher who ignited in me a love of cooking.In her world everything was made with local ingredients and she instilled in me an ethos of good food,made properly. I would love and appreciate the chance to develop the passion she gave me.The opportunity to gain such a wide range of skills would be a dream come through.

The pudding was the inspiration for my dish after I tasted it at the pudding awards in Kanturk.I fell in love with its creamy,rich texture and wanted to come up with a something that would incorporate it and other fresh,local produce.I have used the very best ingredients;gold medal award winning black pudding from McCarthy's of Kanturk,fresh roasted tomatoes,mixed leaves, parmesan shavings,mushrooms,onions and white wine.The result is amazing-a dish which is rich in texture, colour and flavour

Looks amazing.

I really hope you win. The dish looks and sounds amazing. How orignal to create a Risotto with a traditional twist like black pudding to make a really contempary creation. This requires true imagination and is exactly whst Cully and Sully should be looking for.
