So yesterday I took {most} of the day off and visited the Taste of Killarney at the Malton Hotel Gardens in Killarney Co Kerry, of course.

A lovely day out to gorge nibble, taste and drink all that the Southwest of Ireland has to offer as well as revisit friends and meet new suppliers with new ideas.

I tasted a good few lovely wines, tasted kangaroo for the first time {it’s pretty good actually}, had a coffee from Lir Chocolates along with some fab flowerless chocolate cake with homemade hazelnut praline from the girls at Cloudberry Bakery, watched Sam from Cloudberry show us how to make cake pops, nibbled some of the best peanut butter I have ever had {and I love peanut butter} from Glor Foods which included a honey peanut butter and a chocolate peanut butter {!} and generally mingled and munched.

Wedding wise, I did find a few new items that I thought were pretty cool. A macaroon Pyramid from Cocoa Atelier which is pretty cool, and found Pure Sushi who do Sushi with an Irish twist.

I love the idea of having a Sushi station at a wedding or serving it instead of canapes.

I also met Colum from La Rousse foods who introduced me to a lovely sparkling red wine, Brachetto while eating the macaroons off of the pyramid.

All in all it was a great day out and {nearly} day off. Looking forward to next year!
