The DkIT students involved in this project were Emily Farrell, Joseph Lawler Reid, Niamh Ryan, Patrick Mc Sorley and they were supported by DkIT lecturer Alan Mc Cabe.

Sandra Farrell from Louth ABC said,

“I would like to thank the DkIT students for their wonderful work last week. We had 88 parents attend on the morning and the feedback has been very positive. Everyone was raving about how good the food tasted and I've even heard about some parents trying out the recipes already. I’d like to thank DkIT for their very generous donation of food for the demonstrations and a huge thank you for volunteering your time to come and share your expertise with the parents on the morning. The students’ recipes and ideas for creating healthy low-cost meals were exactly what we were hoping for and I'm sure they will become family favourites. I highly commend the student’s professional warm enthusiastic way in which they interacted with the parents throughout the event which created a wonderful atmosphere”.
