Merrion Square, Dublin will be host live organic cooking demonstrations on 31 August and 1 September, for the National Organic Food Fair 2024.

The Organic Trust has secured celebrity chef Clodagh McKenna as well as Marc Michel and Fused by Fiona for a series of live cooking demonstrations using only certified organic ingredients.

The food fair in partnership with the Department of Agriculture and Bord Bia will showcase:

  • Ireland’s biggest artisan organic food market.

  • Cooking demonstrations by renowned Irish celebrity chefs, using only organic produce.
  • Educational demonstrations on organic food production.

    • Speaking ahead of the event, Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture Pippa Hackett said there is nothing new about organics - this is what our grandparents ate and how they farmed, she added.
