The Monday Interview: Robert Buckley and the science around healthy eating

TV presenter Emma Buckley teamed up with her brother Robert in 2014 to disrupt the way Irish people manage their healthy eating habits. Pádraig Hoare talks to Mr Buckley about combining IT and healthy eating.

At first glance, placing a spreadsheet alongside the traditional chef essentials seems odd — but siblings Emma and Robert Buckley insisted from day one that their highly-trained chefs be as comfortable with numbers as they were with fresh ingredients.

Best known as a TV presenter in Ireland with RTÉ and TV3, as well as PBS, CBS and HBO in the US, Ms Buckley combined her nutritionist background with the operational and business background of her brother in 2014 to create Gourmet Fuel.
