Welcome to the latest edition of What’s On In West Cork.

What a cracking summer for 2025, it gave us all a chance to get active and enjoy the great outdoors.
As I write this there are some heavy showers reminding us that we are coming into low season.
It is back to school or college, the festivals have finished and our nights are getting a bit longer and cooler. Perhaps it is a good time to take up a new hobby!

Lunch with June and Susan at the Gravediggers John Kavanagh "The Gravediggers" Had to share the space with Hozier and Mumford and Son who were making a video and enjoying the best Pub Tapas in Ireland from Ciaran afterwards. I had a word with them and they promised not to trade on my celebrity!

Thanks to Ciaran, Annie and The Crew for looking after us so well. If only we could keep the place a secret!!

Thanks to Sis and Susan for yummie cakes from Blossom Bakery to bring back to West Cork!!

The secret of creamy Spaghetti Carbonara - don't use cream!!

1. Use 75g dried spaghetti per person.
2. Add boiling water and salt, bring to boil and then simmer for 6 minutes.
3. Prep 2 beaten eggs (one per person), finely chopped smoked ham or lardons, some butter and oil and small amount of sliced mushrooms.
4. THE SECRET! Before straining the pasta reserve some of the starchy pasta water.
5. Strain the spaghetti.
6. Add the ham / mushroom mix to the same pan and colour on high heat.
7. Deglaze pan with a little white wine or vermouth.
8. Add back the pasta and stir vigorously to mix in the ham / mushrooms.
9. Slowly drizzle the beaten egg mix into the pasta stirring vigorously. If you want a "eggier" taste use just the egg yolks. The idea is to cook the raw egg on the hot pasta.
10. Slowly add the reserved pasta water until your Carbonara is creamy.
11. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan on top and serve.

BUON APPETITO!!

Irish Foodie Magazine - Autumn 2025

Welcome to the Autumn edition of our Irish Foodie magazine.
The longer, cooler nights and the morning mists herald the coming of the wonderful season of autumn, with its delicious, earthy flavours that are both satisfying and nourishing. A season for preserving the summer crop from jam making, chutneys etc or just freezing to use later. We have a couple of tasty autumn recipes for you to try.

In this edition Michelle O’Mahony, history consultant, traces the tradition of wedding fare from the wedding breakfast to the cake. Matt Brownie, the Kiwi Culchie gives us a run down of his visit to the wonderful Borough Market in South London. Caroline Hennessy meets the unflagging Sally Barnes who has been so inspirational over the years.

As usual we have a round up of West Cork eateries for you to try.

Ar Kilcrohane Pier with the sea swimmers and mobile sauna aficionados. The onto the Church of St. Crochán and it's graveyard which gives
this place it's name.

The name Kilcrohane is derived from Cill Chrócháin meaning "Church of Crochan (Crohan)". According to folklore, St. Crohan was a 6th century monk from the shores of Kenmare Bay between Castlecove and Derrynane in Co. Kerry. He is said to have built his first church there and ruins of a church attributed to him can still be found there today. There was a church here from 6th. C to 1639 when it became derelict as a result of the Penal Laws.

Like many of these forcibly abandoned churches it was used a an unofficial graveyard to avoid paying Burial Tithes to the Church of Ireland. Some graves still have marker stones from the days when families could not afford carved headstones. Today this ancient graveyard in a lovely position is a well maintained place of respect and dignity where the history of the families who lived and died in this remote Peninsula is whispered in your ear as you enjoy the peace and quiet of this place.
