‘Hell’s Kitchen’ winner Barry McGuigan and runner up, singer Paul Young, are set to reunite for Edge Films food series ‘The Fabulous Food Adventure’, being shot for UTV.

The episode will profile the artisan food producers of Co Down, and see the pair collect local produce to create a three course meal to be named as the county’s signature dish.

Each episode of the 6 x 23” will see familiar faces visit local food suppliers in Northern Ireland.

Names already confirmed for the series, produced by John Norton and Deirdre McNally of Edge Films, include celebrity chef Gary Rhodes, Irish model / actor Jamie Dornan (Marie Antoinette), Northern Irish chef Jenny Bristow, actor Adrian Dunbar (The Whistleblowers, Mickybo and Me) and food critic and chef Tamasin Day-Lewis (sister of actor Daniel Day-Lewis).

The first episode of the series, featuring chef Antony Worral Thompson, model Rosanna Davison and GAA star Oisin McConville, was filmed in late 2007 with the rest of the series shooting from June – August this year. Post-production will be completed by Dublin’s Lotus Films.

“With this series, we want to encourage people to buy local produce and get them back cooking with fresh ingredients,” says McNally. “We want to highlight the great local food suppliers the North has to offer. Around 90% of the food we buy is imported, and we want people to recognize the great ingredients available on their doorstep.”

Pre-production is already underway for another Edge Films’ series ‘The Celtic Food Adventure’, which will celebrate the food of Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales and France.

‘The Fabulous Food Adventure’ will air in UTV in September this year.
