FOOD FILE: www.thecooksbroth.blogspot.comMasterchef finalist Andy Oliver, who was narrowly beaten by wild-food expert Mat Follas in a too-close-to-call finale to the BBC TV series earlier this year, is doing a hands-on masterclass at Dublin Cookery School in Blackrock on Saturday, July 18th.
The former BT executive, who quit corporate life for a cooking career, specialises in Asian, African and Mediterranean food, and his recent travels in Thailand and Laos will have given him lots of fresh inspiration. You can read about his culinary travels on his blog – thecooksbroth.blogspot.com. The full-day masterclass costs €150, including lunch. Book at www.dublincookeryschool.ie or tel: 01-2100555.
