Sometimes its nice to share knowledge. We all benefit from sharing what we know with friends and family each of us becoming more as we gain in experience and learn new skills.
This year I decided to do 6 different cookery demonstrations to share some of my skills and knowledge to anyone who is interested in food and cooking.
I chose to ask Eugene McKenna @ Noyeks Newmans Kilkenny if he would like me to do some cooking at his kitchen showroom as my parents had just bought a kitchen from him and we were very happy with the quality and service.
So The Devils Menu comes to Kilkenny City. We have done 2 demos already and I have met some wonderful people. The first demo was ‘Curry in a Hurry’ that went really well.
I cooked Onion Bahji’s , Peshwari Nann Bread and Chicken and Coconut Curry. I served these with Basmati rice and some dips.
Mango and chili, Cucumber raita and a Super hot Scotch Bonnet chili dip. My dips went down a storm and I have promised to give the recipes for them as well.
KCLR 96FM came along and the lovely Aisling Kelly interviewed me. We had a fast paced live interview, and then Aisling interviewed me whilst I cooked my curry for the Edwina Grace show on KCLR.
The Kilkenny People newspaper came along as well and took some lovely pictures and wrote a nice article on the events, me and Noyeks. Here’s a short video from the ‘Turkish Delight’ demo that was great fun. A big thank you to all who have come and all those who will be coming.
