📍Welcome to .ie 2024 at the beautiful
Is this is a dream? A part of me doesn’t believe this happening. .ie came about from an idea I had last July 2023 in the height of my cancer journey
So I went ahead and set up the domain and worked hard. I don’t know a lot about event management so I bumped into Bee O’Grady one day in the supermarket the esteemed owner of and I said “Bee Bee I have this amazing idea” and I pitched it to her briefly & then I wrecked her head with ideas. She eventually gave in & gave me a date to hold .ie as a food festival was something she dreamt about too.
Now I know there are a lot of fantastic food festivals out there but this is the first of its kind to come to Ireland. We want to show people this weekend how healthy food has the power to bring people together and to transform your health.
Tonight we have the Masterchef dinner evening where the BBC Masterchef contestants will cook up a 4 course Michelin style dinner with welcome drinks, live music and dancing. SOLD out.
There are tickets available for only €10 pp purchase on our website www.foodiefest.ie to access all masterclasses & cooking demos & workshops and talks. Don’t miss out this is a weekend packed full of fun for all the family & bring your doggies.
It’s happening I’ve butterflies in my belly - this would not have been possible without my wonderful talented friend & all the MasterChefs who flew in from the UK to support me. To from Oz. To all the experts doing the masterclasses, workshops & talks thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my dream become a reality after a very tough 13 months cancer journey ❤️
Thank you to all the local, national and international media who featured me and to and and Kilkenny Radio thanks for all your support to me. ❤️
God bless you all with a lifetime of good health happiness and love for you and all your families
Namaste 🙏
