It's all about food - on a culinary journey of discovery through Ireland with Olaf Deharde & MONOLITH

Dingle. Even the name sounds like longing and that's exactly what I found there: Colorful alleyways, warm people, honest cuisine and an incredible density of pub culture.

This small town on the western tip of Ireland is a real gem. As colorful, lively and rugged as the Atlantic itself. The focus of my trip this time was lamb and I can say with conviction: the best in Ireland. Grazing, salty sea air and wild herbs make the meat here particularly tender and aromatic.

Galway. A city that immediately sneaks into your heart. Lively, rough & charming. Cobblestones, street music and the salty tang of the Atlantic. Here, tradition and modernity merge in a very special way. And what you definitely can't miss here: fish. Fresh, straight from the sea, honest and full of flavor.

Clam Chowder - probably the most famous dish in Ireland. Creamy, hearty, with mussels, bacon, dill and the taste of the Atlantic. For me, clam chowder is more than just a dish. It's Ireland in a bowl.

West Cork. A region that quietly but deeply creeps into your heart with its untouched nature, rugged coastline and rolling hills.

Here, Ireland is still wild, green and full of surprises. And that's exactly what I experienced when I visited Maria and her husband from Atlantic Sea Kayaking.

There's even sea spaghetti - yes, you heard right! And that's exactly what we picked up and used later for our BBQ together.
