EVEN if you live near the best little deli in the world you're still unlikely to have access to the hundreds of amazing artisan products being made across Ireland everyday. Farmers' markets are other great places for artisans to showcase their wares, but, more often than not, it's serendipity that puts a new cheese or chutney in our path.
Foodies keen to discover the next big thing should get hold of Good Foodf The Wicklow Way, a new guide highlighting 20 artisan producers in the Garden of Ireland.
From organic vegetables to handmade ice cream, smoked foods to farmhouse cheese, you'll learn about Wicklow's rich food heritage. Create your own food trail or hit one of the many farmers' markets, also listed in detail, and discover this world of lip-smacking treats. Copies of Good Foodf the Wicklow Way are available from local shops, delicatessens and tourism sites across Wicklow and from Wicklow County Tourism at 0404 20070.
