Insta-success: How Kevin Dundon and Dunbrody House reinvented themselves during lockdown

Dunbrody House

We’re going live! I’m sitting in the demo studio of Dunbrody Cookery School in County Wexford where one of Ireland’s most famous chefs, Kevin Dundon, is about to talk to the masses. 

Every day at 2pm, during lockdown (both of them) and since, the celebrity chef has been streaming cookery sessions to his legion of followers across the globe via Instagram live. At a time when people were at marooned sa bhaile and looking for a helping hand to create everything from sourdough starters and fakeaways, Dundon has tapped into an interactive way to bring Dunbrody House to masses. And he’s got Ireland cooking.
