Two Cork businesses to feature in new series

Two Cork businesses are to feature in a new video series this coming spring.

Leviathan, which is a nine-part travel and cooking series, celebrates the country’s vibrant creative culture.

It also showcases the stories of wild food foragers, artisan makers, organic farmers, and musicians.

The series opener will showcase Woodcock Smokery in West Cork, where Sally-Ferns Barnes, hailed as an icon in sustainable food practices, shares her expertise in preserving wild fish.

In subsequent episodes, Kevin O’Connell, who forages around Cork, brings wild plants to life with recipes that connect ancient traditions to modern kitchens.

The series is produced independently by BYOC Films and led by chef, musician, and photojournalist James Gabriel Martin.

“We have something truly special here, a spirit of creativity and kinship, especially when it comes to food and culture, and I wanted to meet the champions of these things,” he said. 

Leviathan will be available to view on YouTube and on www.LeviathanFood.com.
