Each of the exhibitors offered exquisite and mouth-watering tastings of their cuisine to the public throughout the evening.

The public rubbed shoulders with Meath's culinary masters as the county’s top chefs including Sean McDonald, Andrew Dillon, Billie O’Shea, David Mulvihill, Stephen Brown, Shane O'Neill & Brian Meehan cooked up a storm for the rapt audiences

The Meath Master Chefs gave live cookery demonstrations on the Flogas sponsored cookery demonstration unit and some of their scintillating signature dishes included ‘Roast Rack of Lamb & Seasonal Vegetables’, ‘Pan fried sea bass with chorizo Risotto, roasted red peppers and sherry vinegar’ and ‘Fennel and coriander dusted guinea fowl escalope on a bed rocket and spinach salad with orange & cider vanilla syrup.’

The winners of the ‘Mmm Word’ prize were also presented on the night to much fan-fare. Kevin MacNamidhe was the overall winner and will now be put through his paces by Sean McDonald of Trim Castle Hotel as he prepares a 5-course meal from scratch for 6 of his friends & family! Mary Martin won the 2nd prize of cookery classes at the Station House Kilmessan’s cookery school.

Here is a sample of the evening's fun, enjoy...
