New Episode Every Fortnight

In today's Ireland, individuals from around the globe play a crucial role in the food and drink scene.

They hail from places like Thailand, Turkey, Malawi, France and Venezuela. Some are shop owners, home cooks, others are KPs, food producers, food advocates, and Michelin chefs.

Many of their voices remain unheard.

It is our hope that by featuring these people on our podcast, we can start to concoct a contemporary culinary Ireland made up of diaspora, difference, and, yes, deliciousness.
