Banana importers Fyffes has issued an invitation to mums, dads and children throughout Limerick and beyond to join in a search to find Ireland’s ‘Best Banana Dessert’ creation.

Fronting the search to find this year’s winning creations is Ireland’s well-known television cook, Donal Skehan, whose programmes are a favourite amongst viewers and wannabe cooks.

The popular presenter hopes to repeat the success of last year, when his task was to judge Ireland’s most creative banana bread bakers.

Entries are open from April 14-19, with winners announced on National Banana Day itself, April 21, an initiative devised to support the national drive to encourage healthy eating, especially amongst young and growing children.
