I've learned from my classmates presentations that through their research they have used the produce available to inspire fantastic desserts/petit fours/chocolates.  I loved the way Nora made a pint of Guinness look pretty in her meringue dessert.
I loved the sea salt with the Bush mills and the coffee foam and the way Emmanuel brought them together to create a dessert reminiscent of the Giant's Causeway.  I saw Mary's personal taste for a whiskey inspiring flavours to create her dessert and Helena's dessert  with goats cheese was unique and daring. I learned from their research how to think outside the box and by using what produce is available can be a great inspiration for creation.

I thoroughly enjoyed researching produce from these counties. We are a big fan of Jameson and from basing my dessert on a hot whiskey, trying to find flavors that worked based on produce available was an easy enough task although time consuming as there is so much available. Every ingredient has its own story and trying to divide between counties became more difficult due to the love each producer has for their product.

It was good to research about the region where I worked as a student and to discover a new product and use an old classic, both of which represent the best that Ireland has to offer.

I also found it very interesting to learn about producers and products from all over the island and new ways to utilise them.

It was good to research about Ireland and different counties. I've decided to look into local and organic producers of each county and create the desserts/petit fours around the products offered by them. It was really interesting to see the strong products that each county has and explore it.

We are certified by the Irish Organic Association (I.O.A) Licence No. 6005Who are we?:

We are a small family-run business based in Cork. We began selling organic fruit and vegetables eighteen years ago at our local farmers market when we realised that it was very hard to find a good variety of organic produce in the supermarkets .. and it all took off from there!

We have gone from doing one market a week to doing a five day week, along with adding a very successful box delivery scheme and wholesaling to local health food shops.

We love being out at the markets, meeting and talking to our customers but with today's busy lifestyle people can't always make it to their local market so we are happy to bring organic fruit and veg to your door!

Give us a call (086 3623918) if you live in Cork and want healthy, high quality fruit and vegetables without the hassle of having to go to the shops.

Our fruit and vegetables are all certified organic by the is to source We firmly believe in the support it fully, supplying the people of Cork with

Our Ethos:
Irish Organic Association and our ethos fresh produce locally whenever possible. fair trade label and fair trade bananas, pineapples, mango, coconuts and dates whenever possible.

Because we think it is very important to protect the environment and the habitats of the creatures living around us and because we believe that you are what you eat!

The organic movement makes for a much safer lifestyle all round. The community of organic growers who supply us do not use harmful pesticides which could potentially upset the balance of multipe ecosystems. They are aware of the surrounding countryside and to keep their organic licenses they must maintain certain standards which protect the environment.
Why Organic?:

I based my desserts around products and ingredients that could be found in Dublin, Meath and Louth.
not all of them come from producers. Some of the ingredients are stuff you can find in nature pretty easily.
I added a design on the outside of a few of them to also represent something from the region.
It was an interesting assignment trying to find producers and different food products made in an area I'd originally think is mostly just urban.
