September live cookery demo a great success!

Congrats to our Guest Chef Andrew Carey (@andrewcareylk) on the success of our first in-store live cookery demo. Keep Calm And Cook will be back the first Saturday of next month. We’ll post the recipe sheet from the September demo here for you to download soon. In the meantime, here are some snaps from last Saturday…

Get creative with your cooking for the Cornstore Deli Challenge

CS Home Deli Challange-header

The Cornstore’s gourmet deli store on Thomas Street in Limerick, the ‘Cornstore At Home’, is launching a great deli challenge for all you creative cooks out there…

Home-chefs everywhere are challenged to buy the ingredients for dinner for four people from the Cornstore’s deli for under €50 – that’s including a bottle of wine! After preparing the meal, participants are asked to photograph and upload the results to facebook or twitter, tagging the ‘Cornstore Limerick’ on facebook, and on twitter, @cornstore_limk and @cornstoreathome.

Each month, the meal that is deemed to be the best and most creative work will be rewarded with a fantastic prize of dinner for four people in the stylish Cornstore Limerick restaurant. Judges will include Cornstore Limerick Head Chef Maura Baxter, and restaurateur Padraic Frawley as well as industry experts who will be consulted for their personal favourites along the way.

The competition kicks off in August and runs every month. If you think you have what it takes to win the prize, get into the Cornstore At Home deli on Limerick’s Thomas Street and get creative!

Remember amateur chefs have just as much a chance here as those with more experience thanks to the pre-prepared takeout dinners available from the deli. It’s all about what you put together, and how you serve it.

Take Jack Macs famous black pudding and some fresh apricots and who knows what you can add them to? Or Caroline Rigney’s handmade sausages with a selection of exotic nuts, some flat peaches and the Cornstore’s creamy mash for bangers and mash like we have never seen before!

There are no rules here, get as creative as you like, and you could be taking a group of friends out for a delicious free dinner next month.
