What’s your favourite thing about cooking?
The process of it is very relaxing. As someone who is quite chaotic, a kitchen brings me peace.
What does food, sitting down to a meal with friends, mindfully preparing a meal, nourishment, etc – mean to you?
Food is just such a good mechanism for, well pretty much everything. It means that everything else can be out on hold while people eat and catch up.
Food for thought, What are some areas for improvement within the Irish food/restaurant/hospitality scene?
Tough question! Not improvement, just want it to be brave, back yourself. Being Irish means it doesn’t always come easy, but is worth doing as the food is amazing.
