A LOCAL chef who is delighting radio listeners with his show on Dundalk FM is off to New York in June to cook for the Irish Network Organisation.

Karl Moore celebrated the first anniversary of his radio show ‘Karl’s Kitchen Flavours’ on Friday, March 18.
“We have a great following on the show now and I’m heading to New York on the back of its success,” said Karl.
“I’m going to do a cookery demonstration which promotes local produce. I’ll start with roast red bell pepper and tomato soup and Darver Cottage soda bread.
“I’m also going to do a delicious raspberry and meringue roulade with Cooley whiskey cream.”
Based in Darver, Karl cooks live on air in Dundalk Fm 100 Studio & also for outdoor Broadcasts.
He also teaches cookery classes in O’Fiaich College in Dundalk. Karl recently taught a ten-week course to members of Mental Health Ireland (MHI) and has since drafted recipes for MHI’s national website.
“There will be a video link with recipes on the site. The recipes are very simple to make and of course, really tasty too,” he said.

5 mins turn bread upside down.the bread is ready when it is golden and if you tap the base and sounds
hollow.allow to cool on wire rack for 2 mins then wrap in a teatowel till cooled,this helps to give the bread
a soft crust.Store in air tight containerto maintain freshness.

Tip; you can add freshly picked lemon thyme herb to the bread for an alternative flavour as we do at Darver Cottage,Also for another alternative,we add chopped Cooking Chocolate & sultanas for that sweet flavour.add these at the Kneading stage.
