Michelin-starred restaurants and award-winning chefs focus on food with fresh, locally grown ingredients in County Cork, a storied region in southwestern Ireland.

Ireland captain Billy Dardis said Ireland will go for broke in their Rugby World Cup Sevens semi-final against New Zealand after they blew South Africa away in the quarters on Saturday night.

Cork County is vast and wide—flatter in the east, ideal for crops; rolling grassy hills in the west, good for grazing livestock. The Atlantic wraps the peninsula in a mild oceanic climate all year.

Across County Cork’s wide and quiet expanse of gently rolling hills and craggy coastline, a culinary renaissance is unfolding, led by dairy farmers, foragers, fish smokers, and chefs.
