Come dine with me fans take note…
The Cornstore’s gourmet deli store on Thomas Street in Limerick, the ‘Cornstore At Home’, is launching a great deli challenge for all you creative cooks out there…
Home-chefs everywhere are challenged to buy the ingredients for dinner for four people from the Cornstore’s deli for under €50 – that’s including a bottle of wine! After preparing the meal,
participants are asked to photograph and upload the results to facebook or twitter, tagging the ‘Cornstore Limerick’ on facebook, and on twitter, @cornstore_limk and @cornstoreathome.
Each month, the meal that is deemed to be the best and most creative work will be rewarded with a fantastic prize of dinner for four people in the stylish Cornstore Limerick restaurant. Judges will include Cornstore Limerick Head Chef Maura Baxter, and restaurateur Padraic Frawley as well as industry experts who will be consulted for their personal favourites along the way.
The competition kicked off at the start of this month and will run every month. If you think you have what it takes to win the prize, get into the Cornstore At Home deli on Limerick’s Thomas Street and get creative!
Gold for Limerick coffee roasters
Pónaire Coffee Roastery in Limerick is pleased to announce that their persistent attention to detail and tweaking of their roasting techniques, is paying off – all three of the coffees that they submitted to the judging panels at the Guild of Fine Foods this year were awarded Gold Stars.
Jennifer says that “Our Brazil Fair-trade coffee that we launched in 2010 was awarded 2 Gold Stars – the judges commented on its “sweet aroma and immediate sweet hit”.
“Our European Espresso Blend earned a Gold Star for its “really good flavours, good balance of acid and wine-gummy finish”.
Our Costa Rica Morning Blend also won a Gold Star for its “balance of flavours and no bitterness”.
These Great Taste Awards add to the 3 Stars awarded in 2010 to the company’s Indian Blend and 1 Gold star awarded to the Connoisseur Blend in 2009 and 2010.
