The Irish food industry needs to be prepared for Brexit, an awards ceremony honouring the best produce on offer north and south of the border has heard. The winners of 25th Irish Food Writers’ Guild Food Awards were revealed at a ceremony in Dublin’s Glovers Alley restaurant. Caitríona Twomey of Cork Penny Dinners was presented with the Community Food Award in recognition of their charitable work. Organisers said the geographical spread of the awards demonstrates “the all-island approach that, as a nation, we take to food production, supply, and quality standards”. The exception to this is the Community Food Award, for which the Guild invites nominations every year from the public as well as their own members.
