Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be memorable. Social media’s endless parade of self-styled food experts can make even the culinary gifted among us feel out of our depth. What many of us actually crave is advice from someone who has stood in our shoes, trying to get a family dinner on the table after a long day at work or pulling together a casual (yet dazzling) supper for friends using whatever is fresh, local, and already in the cupboard.

After all, the most valuable food wisdom is rarely found in a viral reel; it’s found in practical experience, adaptability, and a genuine understanding of how people really cook, eat, and gather. That’s exactly what Eunice Power promises to dish up in her new weekly food column for the Irish Examiner, starting this week, on page 26.
