It’s that time of the year again. Don the wellies because the National Ploughing Championships are just weeks away. For the 11th year running, Neven Maguire will be at the Irish Farmers Journal stand cooking up a storm.

The award-winning chef will take our readers on a culinary journey through delicious but achievable meals, with cookery demos taking place right throughout the Ploughing Championships.

Through our partnership with Neven, the Irish Farmers Journal, in association with Simply Better – exclusively at Dunnes Stores – has a fantastic competition for you.

Neven Maguire.
Get the recipe books ready, because we are offering three lucky readers the chance to cook with Neven at the Ploughing, as well as an overnight stay and dinner at the award-winning MacNean restaurant in Blacklion, Co Cavan.

All you need to do is develop a main course recipe where the main ingredient is a Simply Better product.

Perhaps it’s your signature casserole using Simply Better fresh corn-fed chicken, your steak dinner that packs a real punch with Simply Better 14-day matured Irish Angus fillet steaks; or maybe it’s the Simply Better Italian puttanesca pasta sauce that is the secret ingredient in your Italian creation.
