About

Cook, Food Writer, Columnist at The Irish Examiner

Nothing in life gives me more joy and fulfilment than cooking a great plate of food, serving it up and seeing people enjoy it. The pleasure for me is in seeing their pleasure. Cooking for others is an act of love - one of the most nurturing things we can do for each other.

Nothing brings us together in the way food does. We use it to celebrate, to commiserate and comfort, to mark all the big moments in our lives.

I create recipes that are intended to excite and inspire, that people will want to make and most importantly eat. Above all though, I create recipes that are accessible. Cooking is not alchemy, everyone can cook fabulous food.
