Celebrity Chef Brian McDermott is representing his home county and Ireland at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards in China this week.
The award-winning Foyle Hotel owner is the proud author of Donegal Table, a recipe book packed with delicious everyday recipes.
Chef McDermott travelled to Macau this week to take part in the global awards, which begin today.
He is shortlisted in two categories: Best Chef and Best TV Celebrity Chef.
And the local food ambassador is also hoping to stir up appetites for Donegal tourism, as he has some Chinese travel brochures for Donegal in his luggage!
