I was delighted to be interviewed recently by Katia of Proper Food for inclusion in her Women in the Irish Food Industry series, which you can read here. Some of the questions really got me thinking about where my love of food originated (not just my hunger!) and how it has developed over the years. I believe that it’s important to shine a light on success, to promote other women, to encourage young and old to do something they’ve always wanted to, and to give recognition for what they’ve achieved. If you see it, you can be it, right?!
Other women who feature include Laura Sinnott of Wexford Preserves, Orna Larkin who is Head Pastry Chef at the InterContinental Hotel in Dublin, Lynsey Campbell who is the lead cellar brewer at Whiplash brewery, Cliona Swan of Pizza Da Piero, Aisling Flanagan of Velvet Cloud yogurt (a firm favourite in this house!) and Rockfield Cheese, Carol Banahan of Carol’s Stock Market, Birgitta Curtin at teh Burren Smokehouse and many more (many of whom appear in our Food & Drink Producers On-line Directory by the way), so check it out.
