The Chefs' House at George Brown College's Centre for Hospitality and Culinary Arts is delighted to present the next instalment of our CHCA In Conversation With: panel discussion series, featuring Michelin Star Irish Chef JP McMahon.
JP McMahon is a Galway, Ireland-based chef, restaurateur, author, food educator, and thought leader. He is Culinary Director of the award-winning EATGalway Restaurant Group, which includes Aniar Restaurant, Cava Bodega, and Tartare Café + Wine Bar. Aniar has been awarded a Michelin star every year since 2013, and Tartare Café + Wine Bar received a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand Award for 2019 and retained the award for 2020. McMahon also runs Aniar Boutique Cookery School and is the Symposium Director for Food On The Edge, the much talked about, two-day, global food convention that has taken place annually in Galway since 2015. He also writes a weekly column for The Irish Times.
JP's new book, The Irish Cookbook, is the newest addition to Phaidon’s International Cookbook Collection, and showcases the true depth of Irish cuisine, its ingredients, and its fascinating history, as never before. Several years in the making, The Irish Cookbook contains more than 500 homecooking recipes, highlighting Ireland's remarkably rich food heritage. JP undertook the mammoth task of bringing together hundreds of authentic Irish recipes into one impressive volume, organised into 15 chapters by ingredient. The Irish Cookbook showcases both authentic traditional recipes such as Colcannon, Bacon and Cabbage, and Soda Bread, as well as fresh new takes on classic dishes or native ingredients, including Oysters with Wild Garlic Butter; Baby Carrots with Buttermilk and Tarragon Oil; and Chicken with Morels and Cider.
Tickets are $75 plus HST and ticket processing fees and include a copy of JP's new book The Irish Cookbook. Doors open at 6:00 pm and In Conversation With: Chef JP McMahon begins promptly at 6:30 pm.
A reception featuring a selection of canapés from The Irish Cookbook and the opportunity to meet with Chef JP will follow the discussion.
