Taste the Nation: Meet the Sligo woman who went from books to brownies
Alison Gorman of Hawthorn Bakehouse produces boxes of delicious treats.
Sligo woman Alison Gorman has always loved baking. When she graduated with a Masters in English and Philosophy in 2007, she decided to combine her love of food with her love of the written word, embarking on a career in food publishing in London with Kyle Books.
“It gave me a great opportunity to learn all about cookbooks. While I was there, even though I loved the work, and it was the perfect combination of my qualification and my passion, I realised that rather than writing about food, I wanted to be making it.”
