Rachel's Coastal Cooking

Rachel travels from Dungarvan to Ballycotton. She recreates the food memory of her friend, Chef Paul Flynn, by catching a lobster and cooking it on the shore.

Rachel arrives at the pretty harbour town of Kinsale and dives for crab with restaurateur Olivier Queva. Back on dry land she prepares a crab and blood orange salad.

Rachel visits Fingal Ferguson at Gubbeen Farm in Schull to see him make a chef's knife. She uses this to make a dish of roast cod with white bean and chorizo mash.

Rachel arrives on Valentia Island and meets Sandra and Martin from the shell-fish co-op. They dive for scallops and Rachel makes a colourful paella.

Rachel travels to the fishing village of Ballydavid and judges a Spud Off. She then takes some of the prizewinning potatoes down to the beach to prepare a soup.

Rachel heads to Kilcornan and Rigney's Farm, which is packed with rare breeds. Rachel collects up herbs and eggs from the farm to use in her pork schnitzel dish.
