Aoife Carrigy - Wild Atlantic Way Food Tour

Author: Aoife Carrigy

“Imagine 40 Hookers racing out from that bay.” We’re sitting outside Tigh Chadhain pub on a lesser-travelled stretch of Connemara’s Wild Atlantic Way.

Asparagus - In Season

Author: Georgina Campbell

Asparagus is all too familiar as an all-year flown-in product, but locally grown asparagus is a different thing altogether. It was once widely grown in walled gardens and flourishes in many areas of Ireland - where it would be nice to see it back in production again.
