Kevin Dundon's Modern Irish Food puts a modern spin on the celebrated dishes of Irish culture. "Chef of the people" and series host, Kevin Dundon, an award-winning Irish chef and restaurateur with quintessential Irish charm, quick wit and love for locally sourced indigenous produce, takes television viewers on a historic tour of Irish cuisine, demonstrating both the traditional elements of Irish Country House cooking and the gourmet modernization of recipes over eight 30-minute episodes. Whether in a big city or a small town, looking for fine dining or great family comfort foods, Dundon is hoping to bring the art of fresh Irish cooking to the American palate. "My philosophy for food is simple -- use the best ingredients, treat them with respect and you get the best flavor and results...it's about taking great Irish ingredients and great Irish recipes and giving them that international flair." Today, Kevin Dundon is a veritable one-stop shop for Irish cooking. He's the Chef and Proprietor of the four-star Dunbrody Country House Hotel & Restaurant, Cookery School and Spa; one of Ireland's top celebrity chefs; Signature Chef of Downtown Disney World's Raglan Road Irish Gastropub; and a primetime cooking show regular. Renowned for his role in bringing Irish Gourmet Cuisine to the world, Kevin Dundon is an authority member of Fáilte Ireland, Ireland's national tourism board. Dunbrody has become synonymous with contemporary Irish Country House cooking. Reflected in all of Kevin's cookbooks, this passion for freshness mixed with both simplicity and flair is the signature of Kevin's cooking.
