5 limited edition festive treats you should really try to eat in Cork this week
The clock is ticking.
Cork’s best bakers and chefs have spent all year dreaming up new recipes to roll out in December and right now, all of their seasonal creations are waiting for you to try for a limited time only – there’s not a second to waste.
From mince pie rocky road to cranberry pastries and Ferrero Christmas log, there’s something new to try in every part of Cork between now and December 24th.
Here are five mouthwatering creations to sink your teeth into this week:
1. Mince pies two ways at My Goodness
My Goodness is making two kinds of mince pies this year; one baked and one raw. Both are handmade with sparkling apple ginger kombucha, fresh fruit, juice, and spices.
They’re probiotic, vegan and gluten-free too so you can legitimately have one as part of a healthy breakfast.
Here’s a list of spots you can pick them up.

Spinning to Balllinspittle this week? Drop by the hatch at Diva in the middle of the village for one of their more extraordinary additions; the danish topped with sweetened cranberry on rich vanilla custard.
You can order speciality bread, hampers and a variety of goodies for Christmas too via their website.
