The Kerry Food Story

Kerry Food Directory

I was honoured last year to be part of a great Kerry Food Producer Directory which has recipes from top chef’s around Kerry .

All of the chefs have studied at the IT Tralee . The recipes created by the chefs use all local produce.

This book with 150 local Kerry Food and Drink producers is a reminder to us as chefs and also to customers the array of local home grown and local  produce available in Kerry.

“We want to give a strong message that Kerry is open for business in relation to food and drink, and that we have some of the best producers not just in Ireland ,but in the world”, says TJ O’ Connor, Head of Section, Hotel, Culinary and Tourism Department at IT Tralee Co. Kerry.
