'I built a kitchen studio in an outbuilding and started filming'

A move to the UK has taken Cork chef Clodagh McKenna in new directions where she found a silver lining in pandemic times

Chef Clodagh McKenna: 'It was the best move I could have made.'

When I’m not browsing interiors on Instagram during lockdown evenings, I’m rifling my newsfeed for recipes to stimulate a tired palate, keep my freezer on active duty, while hoping to restrain my waistline at the same time.

Recently, I’ve defaulted to Cork’s own Clodagh McKenna’s profile where her regular stream of cheery videos provided the necessaries for my Shrove Tuesday pancakes, and a yummy fish and fennel gratin which took all of five minutes to assemble but revived my taste buds and sated my appetite.
