THE TASTE of Christmas Food festival launched with a new addition yesterday – a special MasterChef Irelandlive theatre show.
The three-day event, in its second year, is expected to draw more than 20,000 foodies. It will feature samples of food from Dublin’s top restaurants, cooking demonstrations and 120 vendors.
The MasterChef Irelandfinalists will be cooking live, with the judges Dylan McGrath and Nick Munier looking on. Both judges and the finalists were on hand yesterday to reveal details of the event which takes place from November 25th to 27th in the Convention Centre Dublin.
“People see you on TV, but it’s a nice thing to see people live,” said Munier. “If anybody is really interested in food, they want to ask you questions so it’s much more tactile, much more sort of personable.”
MasterChefwinner Mary Carney from Waterford said she is looking forward to sharing Christmas-themed recipes at the live event.
