Home thoughts: Clodagh McKenna can't wait to see her family in Cork

Celebrity chef Clodagh McKenna has something of a regal lifestyle with her fiancé in England, but the Blackrock native can't wait to get back to Leeside soon

Clodagh McKenna has been spending lockdown cooking up comforting dishes and working on her garden.

Cork native Clodagh McKenna has been taking lockdown in her stride, if her social media accounts and television appearances are anything to go by. The renowned chef and author has been sharing comforting recipes with fans since the pandemic hit, often hosting Instagram TV sessions to connect with her 112,000 followers online. We even have to reschedule our chat, as when the phone first rings, she's just about to film a segment for ITV. 

The 45-year-old has been living in England for the past five years with her fiancé Harry Herbert. They’re currently breathing life back into a one-acre 18th-century walled garden on his Hampshire estate, where their home — Broadspear House — is located.
