If you’re looking for a weekend treat in Kilkenny, and can’t decide on whether it needs to be sweet or savoury, then The Pink Box have a little something up their sleeve you might like.
Unveiled on KCLR on Saturday, The Pink Box, a most delightful artisan bakery adjacent to Rothe House on Kilkenny’s Parliament Street, have teamed up with food consultant Tracie Daly (once upon a time of the Two Dames on John Street) to create a luxury six-pastry box that will open for orders this week. Run by husband and wife team Ricardo and Adriana, The Pink Box finally got to open its doors this past April, bringing with it a wealth of pastry creations rarely seen in Kilkenny before. If you’ve been following their Instagram account, you’ll know what I mean.
The ‘Lux Box’ includes three savoury and three sweet pastries, namely one each of
- Lemon meringe brioche
- Rhubarb and Irish strawberry crumble Danish
- Peach and elderflower croissant
- Pork, bacon and Inch House black pudding roll with a quail egg and Ballymaloe Relish
- Double Irish farmhouse cheese and streaky bacon cruffin
- Tortilla brioche with aioli – layers of Irish spud
all designed to celebrate Irish flavours.
Orders are available now here, while stocks last, with collection set for 9.30am – 11am on Sunday 15 September. All in, you’re looking at €32.50 and I’ve already got mine placed.
Looking forward to seeing what lands on Sunday week!
