New Food Fest Show to Feast on Northern Ireland’s Finest Flavours
Colin Murray and Edith Bowman Lead the Taste Tour
Colin Murray and Edith Bowman are set to uncover the secrets behind Northern Ireland’s food scene in a brand-new series. They’ll explore what we eat, where it comes from, who makes it, and why it truly matters. Joining them are TV chef Suzie Lee and lively presenter Ryan Hand.
