Summary

My guest today is Clodagh McKenna

Clodagh is a chef, restaurateur, cookbook author and a broadcaster.

Originally from Ireland, she’s been cooking professionally for 20 years. She is the author of 7 cookbooks – her latest one Clodagh’s Suppers came out at the start of this year and is really brilliant.

In Spring 2018 she became the weekly food columnist for the Evening Standard and she has regular slots on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch in the UK, The Today Show and the Rachael Ray show in America plus several more in Canada.

Her most recent TV show, Clodagh's Irish Food Trails gained more than 15 million viewers on PBS in America and has really helped to establish her in America.

I only recently met Clodagh after following her career from afar when I got to go to the most delicious dinner party at her house. She really is the hostess with the mostess – there was dancing between each course and the most delicious food. As it’s Valentines day today – whether you are celebrating that – or galentines - or palentines day – Clodagh has got a delicious menu suggestion for what you should make if you’ve got someone in your life you would like to impress!
