Meet your Culinary Arts Kitchen chef for a brief introduction to the culinary cuisine and traditions of Northern Ireland. Today we will Follow join up with a celebrity chef along the coast of Dundrum Bay and forage for seaside ingredients used in local dishes, some of which you will enjoy for lunch. With the Mourne Mountains as a backdrop, the setting will be absolutely beautiful as you join local chef Paul Cunningham – a competitor on the BBC cooking series “Great British Menu” – along the shore. He will point out and describe some of the coastal herbs and seaweeds that he uses in local dishes. As Cunningham’s grandfather taught him, “The tide lays the table twice a day.”Chef Paul makes the most of these locally sourced ingredients as you will discover while sampling mussels and oysters and dining on a bowl of his seafood chowder at a nearby restaurant. A pint of Guinness or another stout will be perfectly paired to complement the meal. Afterwards, you will stop for photos at the atmospheric ruins of Dundrum Castle, a landmark since the 13th century.
