Rob Krawczyk is the chef and proprietor of Restaurant Chestnut which is a one star Michelin restaurant in Ballydehob, Co Cork. He thinks we are very fortunate to have the produce that we do on our doorstep and this era for Irish food has been a long time coming.
“I think we’ve been at it for years and years, the smaller producers and chefs alike. I just think now with social media, it certainly helps. It’s a slow progression and I think we are now developing our own food culture. If you go to Italy, it’s in their family, it’s in their genes for hundreds of years, but I think we’re developing that now. We are slowly getting it to that point where it’s being recognised that this is Irish food, Irish produce, Irish chefs. We are creating our identity, which is great. From poultry, meat, fish, vegetables, everything, we are incredibly lucky. Our produce stands up to the best in the world,” said Krawczyk.
