DOWN Syndrome Cork’s Field of Dreams horticultural project has been honoured at this year’s Irish Food Writer’s Guild Food Awards at a gala dinner in Dublin. From eel, ale, and sheep’s milk yogurt to eco-friendly pig farming, the winners of the 30th Irish Food Writers’ Guild Food Awards (IFWG) are a diverse group that represent a commitment to provenance, sustainability, quality and flavour, said a spokesperson. With just eight prestigious awards presented, Down Syndrome Cork (DSC) was one of a select few honoured at the 2023 Food Awards for its Field of Dreams project which sees adults with Down Syndrome use horticulture as a catalyst for personal development by learning to grow, harvest and cook their own food. Director Debbie Kelleher and Horticulturist Nicky Green accepted the award in the Suesey Street Restaurant on behalf of DSC, who were nominated in the Community Food Award category.)
