Sarah Jessica Parker has admitted that a lack of restaurants near her Donegal holiday home inspires her to get cooking in the kitchen.
Rural Donegal is far from the cosmopolitan world of New York City, where eateries are on every block. But when in Kilcar, Sex and the City star Sarah says she finds herself going back to basics, doing groceries and cooking.
Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick recently added a large extension to their holiday cottage in Kilcar, where they spent their first Christmas in Ireland last year.
Speaking to the Daily Mail following the launch of her own wine, SJP Sauvignon Blanc, Sarah said that the idea for her new venture with the Invivo wine company actually originated in Killybegs.
She said: “My husband and I had been buying Invivo wines in Ireland.
“Our local SuperValu has a really nice selection of wine and we had been purchasing Invivo wines and we loved them.”
Sarah added that she enjoys wining and dining with friends in her Donegal retreat:
“We can only cook when we’re in Ireland because there aren’t really restaurants where we are, so if people are at our home then we cook for them and serve them wine.”
Sarah, Matthew and their children are often spotted out and about in Donegal during their Irish breaks. Sarah is a keen promoter of Donegal designers and has given Kilcar company Studio Donegal some top endorsements this year.
Her praise for the Killybegs Supervalu’s wine selection could bring another local store a welcome boost.
Sarah is also listed as an ambassador for Donegal Connect, the 10-day project running from 27 September – 6 October to link the diaspora and showcase all that Donegal has to offer.
