The Daly Dish: 'If I want to be on a diet, I’ll be on a diet — it’s nobody else’s business but mine'

The couple behind The Daly Dish talk to Ciara McDonnell about success, loss and why everyone needs an air fryer

Gina and Karol Daly of the Daly Dish.

Last week Gina Daly cooked a lasagne in the air fryer in a side-by-side comparison with an oven-cooked one. The air fryer lasagne, bubbling and delicious, went from uncooked to bubbling and delicious in 14 minutes. To date, her Instagram reel on the experiment has been viewed over 209,000 times. This is the Daly Dish effect.

It’s a rainy day in Cork when I Zoom into the kitchen of Karol and Gina Daly. Appearing on screen in their achingly cool kitchen, wearing black vintage band t-shirts, I feel distinctly beige. 10-month-old baby Gene bounces alongside, decked out in a onesie I would consider wearing myself.
