Space for Food took place on 28th February 2024, with two questions: what role does food play in Arklow? Is there sufficient space for its cultivation (growing, producing and selling) and social aspects (creating, dining, etc.)? The night was captured in a great article by Linda from Arklow Times: Recipe For Success As Making Arklow Brings Local Food Fanatics Together (arklowtimes.ie)
We were joined by three presenters to discuss the roles of food;
Tadgh Byrne: Tadgh Byrne – Locavore Chef
Didi de Zwarte: Registered Dietitian – Dublin | Didi de Zwarte – Didititian
Donal McCormick: Donal McCormack, Author at Community Gardens Ireland (cgireland.org)
Chef Tadhg Byrne put on a feast of local delicacies for us all to taste local Wicklow produce, the proof is in the pudding….
