Chef, restaurateur and cookbook author Denis Cotter, of acclaimed Cork vegetarian restaurant Paradiso, is bringing his unique style of meat-free cuisine to Overends Kitchen, Airfield Estate, for one night only on Friday, 22nd July.
Guests will enjoy a celebration of seasonal produce with a five-course tasting menu created by Denis in collaboration with the team at Overends Kitchen. All courses will feature seasonal fruit, vegetables and herbs grown on Airfield Estate’s 38-acre farm, selected by Denis along with Head Gardener at Airfield Estate, Colm O’Driscoll. This specially curated dinner will kick off with a welcome cocktail at 7pm, with Denis presenting each course. All dishes will highlight the flavours of the Estate while showcasing the versatility of vegetables and the intensity and complexity of flavour that Denis is known for.
