Jack O’Keeffe
Former Head Chef of one of Ireland’s top cookery schools and having worked in some of the Islands top restaurants has led Jack to his current role as a regular on Ireland AM – Ireland’s longest running morning talk show.
He can also be found presenting demonstrations and cookery classes in Farmshop – one of the best groups of small independent craft & produce stores on the Island.
Jack has an impressive collection of foodie accolades, but as he says himself, “I just love food, everything I do revolves around food”. Jack believes that food is the greatest catalyst in the world for conversation, whether it’s oysters on a rain soaked beach in Connemara to a bowl of baba ghanoush in sun bleached Lebanon.
