Planning your wedding feast shouldn’t feel like wading through noise. If you’re scrolling through menus, feeling unsure, or wondering what actually makes a wedding meal truly memorable, this is for you.

I’ve cooked for a lot of couples over the years, and here’s what I’ve learned. The food sets the whole mood of the day. It brings people together. It settles the room. It tells your story in a quiet way that everyone feels.

You don’t need a mountain of choices. You just need the right ones. Seasonal food that tastes like the time of year you’re getting married. Dishes that hold their own. A style of service that keeps things flowing and keeps stress off your shoulders.

If you care about good Irish produce, honest flavours, zero waste thinking, and a wedding that feels warm and real, then this guide will help you figure out what to look for and what to ask.

If you’re planning your 2026 or 2027 wedding and want a feast that feels abundant, beautiful and true to who you are, my books are open. Reach out and we’ll start shaping something you’ll be proud to serve.

Sneak peek into my cupboards as you swipe!

The joy of having a kitchen that functions after 9 years in a home with a broken oven door, non existent storage space, and no space to home the basics.
I designed this kitchen with ease in mind, (a place for everything and everything in its place).
I absolutely adore this space. It is the heart of our home, and it actually serves us.

I want to thank everyone who has employed my services over the last number of years, because without your belief in my abilities, this dream kitchen would still be just that, a dream.

Very grateful.
Paid for every single item.

There is a misconception that good food is expensive. The truth is careless food is expensive. Cheap food costs us far more in the long run.

When we pay fairly for good ingredients and the people who produce them, we value every bite. We plan, we cook with intention, and we waste far less. Respect changes everything.

Paying for quality is not about luxury. It is about dignity, sustainability and the kind of food culture we want to pass on.

What are your thoughts on this?

Food policies exist in Ireland. However, there is no department to oversee these policies and ensure they are coherent.
They are the remit of siloed governmental departments. I believe it's high time we had a Food Minister with responsibility for joining the dots and taking accountability for coordinating policy across all departments.
has been banging this drum for many years and there are many committed actors with willing and expertise behind the drive for a Ministry of Food in Ireland.

Two takeaway tips from this clip:
1. Crush up your garlic and save it in olive oil. It.even freezes well.
2. Get familiar with flavour combinations and don't be afraid to experiment. My book is jam packed full of inspiration on ways to make standatd larder ingrefients work together to create delicious meals.

Save this as a reminder that you don't need to peel your vegetables!
If they're chemical free and washed, that skin is perfectly edible and packed full of nutrition.

Dream come true.

Sharing my story at a event last night as part of

Not easy to be the last speaker of eight, with regaling us with tales of Tipperary and her childhood in Co. Laois just beforehand, but the atmosphere was magical and I knew I was in a safe space

Can't recommend an evening like this enough. The spoken word is such an integral part of Irish heritage and it is a tool of connection.
So grateful for the opportunity and the grá
