Venue: Marlay Park, Rathfarnham
Dates: 4th & 5th October
Time: 10.00 - 18.00
Admission: FREE
Baba Ganoush from Lebanon, sushi from Japan, bratwurst from Germany, hot vindaloo from India, oodles of noodles from Japan, Spanish tapas, French haute cuisine, fresh Italian pastas, tex mex, creole, pig roast and an authentic Yurt dwelling…. That's just a small sample of what's on offer at this year's mouthwatering Festival of World Foods in Marlay Park this on 4th & 5th October.
Last year's festival was a smash hit, with thousands of people pouring in to enjoy foods, flavours, cookery demonstrations and workshops from around the globe - and this year organisers promise an even bigger and better gastronomic delight!
Foodies can check out stalls from Palestine, Lebanon, Algeria, Germany, Italy, France, Brazil, Mexico, USA, Japan, China, Thailand, Greece, Spain, Sri Lanka and India as well as the finest home-produced goodies, with a huge selection of Irish bakery goods, farm house cheeses, condiments, butchers, gluten free products, organic fruit and vegetables, beverages and hot-food on offer!
There's also some entertaining highlights to look forward to, including a pig roast, culminating in a hoe down, with fresh corn on the cob, baked potatoes, salads, and some brilliant Bluegrass, old-time, gospel and Cajun tunes courtesy of the fantastically fun Prison Love, a sensational 7 piece string band who come complete with prison uniforms and a washboard!
And don't miss the authentic 'Yurt' dwelling in the Back to Basics area, where people can enjoy home made ice-cream, smoothies and raw foods. Guest Head Chef, Traweekak Trakoolwattana - who previously cooked for the King and Queen of Thailand and now works at the award-winning Thai and Vietnamese restaurant Saba - will showcase his unique ingredients and cooking style with some fantastic cookery workshops!
There'll also be FREE sushi and sausages making workshops, world food cookery demonstrations from Trinidad to Thailand - and even an origami workshop stall and a fantastic 'decorate your own cupcake' stall for the kids. And be sure to stop by the educational stalls, too, where you can learn more about environmentally-friendly concepts such as composting, and chat to the on-site nutritionist - who'll answer questions AND host lectures on such important issues as how to interpret food labels.
The National Children's Hospital will host a stall where children can play a game and win a prize, with all proceeds going to the hospital - and of course the DLR entertainers and face painters will be around, adding their trademark touch of folly to the festival
With so much to choose from, there really is something for every palate - even those still a bit cautious of curries or terrified of teriyaki! So head along and take a tasty trip to a world of delicious delights for all the family!
The sushi and sausage making workshops speak loudly to me.
