Hamper lovers are undoubtedly spoiled for choice this year, with a gorgeous array of festive fare showcasing some particularly nice Irish produce.
Glasthule-based chef Audrey McDonald has quietly launched her unique take on ‘hampers for epicures’ in her first food foray since the Cookbook Café closed earlier this year.
Audrey’s hampers contain a terrific selection of homemade seasonal goodies, including spicy panforte, Rosemary and chilli infused extra virgin olive oil, Aine’s handmade chocolates, spiced Christmas nuts, Arancello and Prosecco.
There’s also a scented candle from Tipperary Crystal, all invitingly enveloped in a traditional hand-crafted wicker basket.
