KILLARNEY OUTLET CENTRE TO SERVE UP A DISH OF ROMANCE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

02 February 2012

The Killarney Outlet Centre has launched a fantastic competition designed to give Kerry men the opportunity to impress their loved one with their culinary skills this Valentine’s Day.

The competition, live on the Killarney Outlet Centre Facebook page from today, is seeking to find two of the ‘worst male cooks’ in the region, nominated by the partners, who will battle it out at a special live cookery demonstration at The Killarney Outlet Centre on Saturday 11th February, 2.30pm.

Kerry’s answer to Jamie Oliver, Chef John O’Leary, who is well used to preparing romantic meals at The Malton  Hotel, will be there to teach the selected Facebook finalists, who have been somewhat previously challenged in the kitchen, simple ways to impress their ladies - just in time for Valentine’s Day. There will then be a taste off and the overall winner will win a wonderful dinner for two in the Garden Room Restaurant at the luxury four star Malton Hotel, and a lovely selection of items from the Pantry to help continue their new found talent!

Paul Sherry, General Manager at the Killarney Outlet Centre, is really looking forward to the event: “This Valentines themed competition is guaranteed to bestow major brownie points for guys! So women, all you have to do to enter your man, is upload a picture of them with an example of a cookery disaster on why they deserve to win. Two lucky winners will then be picked on Wednesday 8th February for the live cook off on Saturday 11th February.”

Chef John O’Leary also stated “I decided to ease the men into it by coming up with a simple recipes that they can replicate at home. Mustard crusted noisettes of pork fillet, with black pudding and fennel galette, and cider jelly and apple cream. Desert will be a Strawberry and Passion fruit Eton mess, yum! Also shoppers and supporters will benefit too, as I will go through the cooking process step by step, their own personal cookery class! Imagine how their loved one will feel on coming home to a table set for two, relaxing music, wines chilled or decanted, and a wonderful meal prepared.”

Not only will John be showing the men how to impress their loved ones with a simple, but delicious menu to prepare, but everyone will also get to go home with a recipe pack, just in case they forget anything before the 14thFebruary!
