Enjoy!Eat your heart out With so many cafés and restaurants to choose from, deciding where to eat in Cork can be mind-boggling so we’ve chosen some of the best for you. Words by Caroline Hennessy.BEST BREAKFASTSHardwoodSunday morning, coming down: it’s time for breakfast at the bright, airy Hardwood on Pope’s Quay. Feast on French toast, with real maple syrup and smoked bacon, or be good and go for the healthy option – a colourful fresh fruit plate, with toasted pine nuts and yoghurt.Try: the steak and eggs option, with all the trimmings, for those mornings after the night beforeHardwood, 31 Pope’s Quay, Cork.

Irish cheese in Food & Wine Magazine

f&wmagazine.jpg If you’re interested in cheese, particularly of the Irish variety, it’s worth picking up this month’s edition of Food & Wine Magazine for a series of profiles of Ireland’s leading cheese makers, a piece by Sheridan’s Cheesemongers‘ Dan Fennelly on how cheese changes with the seasons, recipes from the Ballymaloe matriarch Myrtle Allen and the best accompaniments for a plateful of cheeses. Read restaurant reviews of Dublin’s Café Úna, a truffle orgy at the K Club and Conor favourite Boqueria tapas bar in Cork. You can have your own say on the discussion forums at editor Ernie Whalley’s own Fork’n’Cork website. For fans of goat’s cheese, there’s a piece on Tom Biggane, maker of the very special Clonmore Goat’s Cheese from Newtown in North Cork written by, ahem, one Caroline Hennessy. April’s Food & Wine Magazine – in the shops now!

A blurred copy of the picture from the bottom of the Food & Wine Magazine cover Great excitement here this afternoon when I got an email from friends in Ireland to say that my article on food in New Zealand has been published in this month’s edition of Ireland’s Food & Wine Magazine! It’s the new look edition of “Ireland’s Food and Drink Bible” with a picture of a lovely looking iced summer treat on the cover.
