Taste the Nation: Lovebirds from Tipperary Town make Tasty plant-based treats

Myriam and Barry Quinn make a range of sweet and savoury snacks and have just launched a luxury vegan Christmas cake for the festive season

Myriam Quinn is one half of Tipperary Town's My Tasty.

It was 2002 and romance was written in the stars for two young lovebirds in Tipperary Town. Myriam and Barry were teenagers working part-time shifts at the Imperial Garden Chinese restaurant – Myriam’s family business – and it was love at first sight.  

Following her family’s footsteps into the hospitality business, Myriam enrolled in a management training programme at Dromoland Castle when she finished school, while Barry studied in Wales, but distance would not keep this couple apart.
