The Burlesque Chef says ditch the guilt and fall in love with food again

Ethna Reynolds believes women need to fall back in love with food, writes Nuala Woulfe.

ETHNA REYNOLDS is on a mission to get Irish women to fall back in love with their bodies and fall back in love with food — and this Valentine’s Day is the perfect time for the love affair to begin.

Known as the Burlesque Chef, Leitrim native Ethna injects passion into all aspects of her life. A big fan of the 1940s and ’50s, when women were glamorous but not stick thin, Ethna believes that, in order for modern day women to feel sexy about their bodies, they have to start with “sexy food”.
