Warm Salad of Gubbeen Bacon with Poached Egg and Coolea Cheese Serves 4

West Cork is one of the most beautiful places in Ireland and many would argue that it is one of the special places in the world! It is seen both nationally and internationally as a very desirable place to visit where one would expect to experience a magnificent environment, the best of good food, great art and crafts and the most interesting of people. Working in this clean and fertile landscape, the artisan food producers of West Cork have grown and developed their produce to a standard of international excellence. The Taste of West Cork Festival celebrates all that is special in West Cork – the wonderful award-winning local produce cooked to perfection by our skilled chefs in our delightful restaurants - the many “secret” pleasures of West Cork to be enjoyed on our farm visits, historic walks, big houses and gardens and a hands-on engagement in the growing process – the enjoyment of experiencing “Carbery’s Hundred Isles” and the feast of gorgeous food tastings and fine craft to be enjoyed at the Sunday open air market – a delight for all the senses! If you are searching for an authentic, meaningful, connected, sensuous and fun-filled experience then the Taste of West Cork Festival is definitely the place for you. Come join with us in this uplifting celebration of all that is authentic and wonderful in this very special part of rural Ireland. If you travel and stay with us we will give you a “free lunch”. Please come to our box office at Fields Old Bakery, Townshend Street, Skibbereen for a cup of coffee and a chat. We would like to know that you are here. We look forward to your visit. Helen Collins A Taste of West Cork Festival Chairman

3 September 2013

A gorgeous little salad which totally depends on good ingredients. Make it with battery produced eggs and indifferent bacon and you’ll wonder why you bothered. Gubbeen bacon is cured and smoked by a brilliant young artisanal producer called Fingal Ferguson, son of Tom and Giana Ferguson who make the famous Gubbeen farmhouse cheese on their farm in West Cork. If you can’t lay your hands on this, look out for the best quality smoked bacon you can find. Coolea cheese is a rich and nutty Gouda type cheese with a glorious waxed rind made from unpasteurised milk by Dick and Helene Willems on their farm in West Cork. a mixture of organic salad leaves 175g (6oz) smoked Gubbeen bacon lardons 4 eggs free-range organic Caesar Salad Dressing (see recipe) 25g (1oz) freshly grated Coolea cheese freshly chopped parsley First make the Caesar dressing - you will have more than you need for this recipe but it keeps for several weeks so save it in the refrigerator for another time.

Caesar Dressing 2 egg yolks, preferably free-range 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed 1 x 2oz (50g) tin anchovies 1 clove garlic, crushed a generous pinch of English mustard powder 1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2-1 tablespoon Worcester sauce 1/2-1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce 6fl oz (175ml) sunflower oil 2fl oz (50ml) extra virgin olive oil 2fl oz (50ml) cold water

We make this dressing in a food processor but it can also be made very quickly by hand. Drain the anchovies and crush lightly with a fork. Put into a bowl with the egg yolks, add the garlic, lemon juice, mustard powder, salt, Worcester and Tabasco sauce. Whisk all the ingredients together. As you whisk, add the oils slowly at first, then a little faster as the emulsion forms. Finally whisk in the water. Taste and correct the seasoning: this dressing should be highly flavoured. Fill a small saucepan with cold water, add a little salt. When the water is boiling, reduce the heat, crack the egg and allow it to drop gently into the water. Cook in the barely simmering water for 4 to 5 minutes or until the white is set and the yolk is still soft. You may cook the eggs separately or together depending on the size of your saucepan. Meanwhile heat a frying pan, add a little olive or sunflower oil. Cook the lardons of bacon until crispy and golden.

LAUNCH OF THE TASTE OF WEST CORK FESTIVAL 2013

To assemble the salad.

The official launch of the 2013 Taste of West Cork Festival and celebration of the 10th anniversary takes place on 3rd September 2013. Triona Mc Carthy, Journalist, Television Presenter and dynamic young spirit of West Cork, will be guest speaker.

Put a little Caesar dressing on the plate. Quickly arrange a selection of lettuce and salad leaves on top. We also add a little freshly cooked asparagus or chicory in season or some chard or beet greens. Sprinkle the hot sizzling bacon over the salad, top with a poached egg. Drizzle some Caesar dressing over the poached egg and salad leaves.

During the West Cork Food Festival we would like to share our Polish flavours.’ Peter Wojaskowski of Field’s Skibbereen

“

If you could choose a location to start a food business, it would have to be West Cork, not because of a huge population, easy transport logistics or even strong support structures. It’s about a culture where food is ingrained in everything we do and think, an appreciation for what has been entrusted to us and how we protect and enjoy it. West Cork truly is a place apart

Resting on the banks of the River Ilen (from which the farm takes its name) Glenilen Farm has an idyllic location for dairy farming. The lush hills of Drimoleague offer the cows a rich and plentiful supply of nutritious grass, and the cows in turn supply the rich tasty milk which is a core ingredient in all the Glenilen products. In 1997, Valerie began using this milk to make homemade cheesecakes for the local country market, and from this small beginning, the award winning Glenilen Farm products began. This farm is well worth a visit.

Celtic Cook Off

This event encourages the special relationship that exists between the Celtic nations. The Celtic Cook Off works on the basis that one chef represents each of the Celtic Territories: Ireland, Scotland, Isle of Man, Cornwall, Wales and Brittany. The chefs come together for one night and compete against each other in a “Ready, Steady, Cook” style cook off. The chefs cook in two groups (3 in each group, with each competing chef assisted by a young aspiring Chef from the West Cork Region). They have thirty minutes to create their masterpieces, using West Cork produce, that they have selected from a list of approved producers and using an agreed budget. The Chefs may also opt to choose a “Wild Card” ingredient from their own region. The Celtic Cook Off is a fun and informative cooking event, that showcases the best of West Cork Produce.
