Kitty Corrigan, Cherie Denham and Andrew Montgomery

Matters of Taste: The Irish Bakery Demo, Talk and Tasting

Hay Festival 2025, 

When cook Cherie Denham and photographer Andrew Montgomery conceived the idea of The Irish Bakery, they set out to portray traditional Irish cooking in the context of the island’s history and culture. Cherie’s recipes are accompanied by Andrew’s timeless images of landscape, people and food, with profiles of artisan producers by Kitty Corrigan. Winner of the Irish Food Writers Award for ‘Cookbook of the Year’, the book is for beginner bakers, expert cooks and lovers of Irish culture alike. Cherie will demonstrate Irish tea brack, Guinness bread and homemade butter – which you can taste along with rosemary and lavender shortbread plus Irish apple cake with whiskey sultanas. Never too early for Guinness and Irish whiskey.
