The series
Over eight episodes, Lyndey Milan will explore the Counties of Ireland. She will get under the rolling green skin of the country to reveal the unexpected, meeting extraordinary characters that will take her to places she would never have known but for them, and of course... tasting and cooking incredible dishes that reveal the extraordinary and surprising depth of delicious Irish produce and food. And as much as Ireland is about food, it is also about the people who make that food. Lyndey celebrates Irish culture with larger than life characters who take her by the hand, sweeping her around corners, up alleys and lanes, and into little known corners of the country to discover their rich and deep seated passions.

The food
Contrary to the popular stereotype, Lyndey shows that there is more to Irish food than the potato, as she unearths a bounty of fabulous local produce and traditional recipes. No experience is left behind as Lyndey combines the very best moments and tastes to create dishes that will capture the essence of each region by delicious mouthful, and with every morsel comes a story of the culture, a memory of the people and a love for the sights, sounds and taste of Ireland!
