A VERY special night is planned for next Wednesday as renowned chef Frank Moynihan brings ‘Tastes Of Christmas’ to the Meadowlands Hotel.
The fundraiser, organised by the Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí Parents Council, is sure to tantalise the taste buds, coming as it does from the former resident chef on the Gay Byrne RTE radio show.

“It’s an alternative Christmas dinner,” said Frank Moynihan. “I’m trying to get away from the brussels sprouts and the melon starter, something different from what people normally do. I won’t be roasting a turkey in a two and half hour show obviously, so I’ll be cooking coq au vin – chicken cooked in a burgundy wine. Admission is only €15 – what a night for that amount of money – and the dishes I cook will be raffled for the benefit of the Gaelcholáiste.”
Frank has some amazing sounding starters and desserts planned for the night, which is a must for anyone interested in gourmet food.
Principal of Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí, Austin Ó Seachnasaigh, was delighted that the parents council organised the event.
“We’re very lucky in the school to have a very supportive parents’ council and we would appreciate all the support we can get, as all money raised goes back to the school to the benefit of the students,” he said.
Tickets are €15 and the demonstration starts at 8pm. They can be bought from Maeve on 086-8131657, Mary on 087-2741560 or on the door on the night.
Sounds like great ideas for the Christmas dinner.
