First up, Donal takes a bracing walk along The Gobbins cliff path with local guide Gerry. Donal visits the famous Bushmills distillery where he learns the techniques involved in creating their famous casks, of course he has to sample the fruits of their labour too! Inspired by this visit, Donal whips up a whiskey and apple sweet treat on the grounds of Glenarm Castle. Just a short drive down the road, Donal happens upon Belfast city centre where he takes a guided tour in a black cab where he discovers "hundreds of years of history in a couple of stops". Donal visits Aunt Sandra's sweet shop, a family run business where he has some hands-on experience of making their local delicacy "yellowman". Taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, Donal visits Michelin star restaurant "Ox" to sample their refined tasting menu and meet head chef Stephen Toman. Suitably fed and watered, Donal takes a trip to the breathtaking glens of Antrim for a spot of fly fishing with a local guide.
The last adventure of this series brings Donal and Max back home to the fair city of Dublin. A city steeped in tradition, innovation, culture, craic and culinary delights. Where best to start then on the North coast of the city, in his boyhood village of Howth for a beautiful morning cliff walk with his wife Sofie and boys Noah and Oliver. A picturesque fishing village, Donal often cooks with what he can get on his doorstep and he rustles up a comforting bowl of seafood chowder with seafood caught that morning. Then Donal and Max hop on the train for a trip into the heart of Dublin City. First stop is to the famous Guinness Storehouse, where archivist Eilis takes Donal on a trip through the history of the pint and just how innovative Arthur Guinness before Foxy, shows him the exact technique to pouring the perfect pint, 119.5 seconds exactly. As day moves to dusk, Donal meets singer Inni-K in the 830 year old St. Patrick's Cathedral - the perfect location to hear this contemporary artist singing gorgeous Irish traditional airs. Donal rustles up a dish associated particularly with Dublin - Coddle. The dish is often made to use up leftovers but for this recipe Donal uses onion, potatoes, bacon and sausages. A definite Irish comfort food on a cold Winter's night.
