Having just wrapped up his delicious new series Neven's Spanish Food Trails, Neven Maguire joined Alison on Weekend Breakfast. He told us all about discovering new flavours in Spain, how he loves going back to basics with cooking and how his love for cooking began when he was just 12 years old. Neven's Spanish Food Trails Neven's Spanish Food Trails sees him let his travel bug run wild. The six part series highlights the local Spanish cuisine as he enjoys a huge range of produce. From Cabrales blue cheese matured in mountain caves, to Galician veal, octopus pie, grilled sea bass, clams, traditional Spanish Cider, and Albariño Wine. The series wrapped up on Rte One on Oct 17th but is available now on the RTE Player. Neven also left us with a tasty recipe to try at home.
