Two finalists. One golden moment.
I was selected as a finalist in the Blas na hÉireann Irish Food Awards in October 2026 for both my cheese blend and my cheesy chilli coleslaw.
My cheesy chilli coleslaw went on to get a GOLD medal!
And the adventure keeps growing.
Mini’s Chilli Empire was also selected for the SuperValu Food Academy 2026–27.
It’s been wild!!
