Shape I’m In: Angeline Ball, TV cook

SINGER, actress and more recently TV cook, Angeline Ball is a woman of many parts. 

That she is a whizz in the kitchen should come as no surprise to those who watched her chop and stir her way to a five-star award three years ago in RTE’s The Restaurant, a series renowned for its exacting food critics.

Her next outing as a TV cook is on TV3’s Home Cook’s Academy. She didn’t have to be asked twice. “I jumped at the chance,” she says. “I see it as a way of indulging in my hobby and, going forward, who knows, we might come to France, have a little road trip or do a book. It’s so different from acting. For me, it’s very naturalistic.”
