Italian Food & Wine

Italian food and wine has an excellent reputation not only in Ireland but around the globe. In response to the high number of Italians living in Ireland, the Irlanda Italiana Cultural Association (IICA) has been formed in Cork. The launch will take place next Thursday, 15th December in Aula Maxima, UCC from 7pm. An evening with Italian food & wine - what better way to spend an evening. Make sure you put the date in your diary

Just Nuts

We are always interested in new Irish Food companies and while searching for some news, we found Just Nuts.

Just Nuts is a new Irish owned and Irish run artisan food company specializing in the highest quality aromatic roasted nuts and other nut products.

It was set up by entrepreneur Fiona Buckley in early 2011 who decided to fulfil her passion for cooking. The idea for Just Nuts came about when Fiona noticed that the kind of nuts she was making for parties with friends and family were not available anywhere in stores, delis or markets.

Her products are fantastic to eat as they are. The savoury nuts are lovely sprinkled over salads, in curries, even over omelettes while the sweet varieties are great in cakes, desserts with ice cream. Naturally high in fibre, essential minerals and good fats, nuts are a slow energy release food, keeping you going for longer!!

You can purchase the nuts online via LocalMarkets.ie and you can follow them on Facebook
