Chop, Chop: A Cork chef is chatting to local foodies in a new cooking podcast

By Maria Wilson January 19, 2024

Guests will be spilling all the beans.

The chef behind local boutique catering company Roots Kitchen is turning up the heat with the launch of her sizzling new podcast, Chop Chop.

In the first episode, Donna O’Driscoll chats with Tim McCarthy of McCarthys of Kanturk, the fifth-generation butcher behind the delectable award-winning McCarthy’s Black Pudding. They discuss the meaty business, butcher’s favourites, and the secrets to the perfect steak.

“I adore McCarthys Black Pudding,” confesses Donna, adding that she was “delighted” to speak to the man leading the brand right now. “We even got a special guest appearance from Tim’s dad, the famous Jack McCarthy.”

Chop Chop is aimed at food enthusiasts, with Donna pledging to whisk listeners away on her gastronomic adventures, sharing tales from her kitchen conquests as a chef, entrepreneur, and the brains behind Roots Kitchen.

Tune in as she invites fellow chefs, food aficionados, and industry experts to chew the fat on all things food — from trending culinary topics to kitchen chronicles to solving cooking conundrums.

Hungry for more? Chop Chop is now sizzling on Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts.
