Check out The Irish Balance Podcast episode 24 chatting with me!

This year, I have been listening to a selection of podcasts on a daily basis. I was delighted when Dr Ciara Kelly of The Irish Balance podcastasked me to talk to her for an episode. Ciara is a medical doctor and health and wellness blogger who is completing a masters in Public Health & Nutrition.


In this episode, we chat about ways to simplify cooking in a busy schedule, go-to meal + snack recipes to keep in your back pocket, my experience in Ballymaloe training as a chef & my time in Australia + thoughts on the food scene there, and the importance of eating socially.
