Last of Neven's Irish Food Trails

The final programme in the series Neven's Irish Food Trails will air next Wednesday (March 1).

In this final episode, celebrity chef Neven Maguire from Blacklion heads to Dublin to meet an artisan food producer who combines ancient Mexican cooking techniques with traditional Irish ingredients. Philip Martin of Blanco Nino uses Irish GM-free corn to manufacture Mexican tortillas and shows Neven how to create a Mexican tortilla dish. 

From Dublin, Neven travels to County Kilkenny and the Jerpoint Glass Studio where he tries the art of glass blowing to create his own wine glass. 
Neven’s next destination is County Limerick and the Mustard Seed Country House Hotel where chef Angel Pirev shares a recipe for succulent beef sirloin. 
And it's back on board the Shannon Princess for the last time to prepare his delicious homemade Viennetta ice-cream.

The current series has seen the popular chef from MacNean House & Bistro travelling throughout Ireland. His home for the seven-part series was the Shannon Princess, a hotel barge located in Lough Ree, the ideal base from which to explore the country.  
During the seven episodes, Neven visited counties Longford, Limerick, Dublin, Cork, Wicklow, Wexford, Tipperary and Kilkenny. Along the way he met a fascinating and diverse collection of chefs, craftsmen and food producers.

Neven's Irish Food Trails was produced by David Hare of InproductionTV for RTÉ and sponsored by BORD BIA. The final episode will air on Wednesday, March 1, on RTÉ One at 7.30pm.
