"It was a pandemic passion project." Cookie Dó #GrowwithAldi

'Grow with Aldi', now in its 4th year, developed in partnership with Bord Bia, designed to help small and medium producers develop their brand and potentially build their business. There are over 120 suppliers involved in 'Grow with Aldi 2021'. 61 food, drink and non-food suppliers have won a new contract with Aldi. In the series Henry McKean meets food producers and for the first time non food producers can take part. Today Henry McKean meets Ciaran Fitzpatrick who had a Pandemic passion project to make a homemade product and get them on the shelves. Cookie Dó wanted to make baking fresh cookies as quick and easy as possible. Cookie Dó was founded in the kitchen of Irish speaking 'Aon Scéal Café', in Tallaght Village Dublin. They spent 2020 perfecting the cookie and coming up with new and unique flavours. Henry McKean visited the cookie bakery and sent us this report.
