Taste of Kildare Huge Success


TASTY, TASTY, VERY, VERY TASTY!

Wow, what an incredible day we had yesterday at Taste Kildare in the Victorian Walled Garden of The K Club. The numbers were unbelievable, thousands and thousands of people turned out in the afternoon sunshine to taste some great food, check out some fab craft and dance to the sound of Harlequin - what a great band they are too....thanks to Shane and co in Harlequin, people everywhere were on their feet, swaying to the music whilst chomping on something tasty.

The resident sommelier, Lisa O'Doherty brought lots of people on wine tours around the fantastic K Club wine cellar while John Ryan, the art expert at the resort lead groups of people on a guided art tour around Straffan House (the original part of the hotel). The Westgrove Hotel in Clane had a pig on a spit which was incredible, Indie Spice brought a taste of Asia to the festival while The K Club brought out an incredible tasting plate to showcase the fantastic food prepared by chef Finbar Higgins and his amazing team. There was also some lovely cookery demonstrations which went on throughout the day in the Miele kitchen. Chefs Rozanne Stevens, PJ Cunniham from Palmerstown House and Louise O'Hare from What's Cooking all shared some great recipes with the onlookers. The kiddies too had a great time in the soft play area which featured a bouncy castle, giant games, face painters and enertainers.

Enable Ireland were the nominated charity on the day and all funds raised went to the charity.
All in all it was a huge success, congrats to all on a super day, hope you all had fun!
