Work with Emily

Emily is a live-fire cook, food anthropologist and one of Ireland's most engaging voices on fire, food and provenance. She brings the same warmth, storytelling and command of the flame to a festival stage or a corporate stage as she does to a private table.

Whether it's a cooking demonstration, a brand partnership, a media appearance or a bespoke event, Emily connects an audience to where their food comes from and why it matters, over open fire, with plenty of character.

Available for fire cooking demonstrations, food festivals, corporate events, private gatherings, brand partnerships, editorial commissions and speaking.

Fire in front of an audience:

Sometimes the best seat at Wild & Fired isn't at the fire, it's beside it.

We cook regularly with celebrated chefs as well as the most understated food heroes and quietly brilliant talent Ireland produces. Those people who share our belief that our country’s talent is as rich an export as anything that grows from its soil. Genuine collaborations, not staged events.

“Food tells a story. This is the subject of food anthropology: 

It is the face and identity of a culture: how a culture has survived, evolved through time, and continues to shape old fashioned and modern techniques into its own distinct flavour.”
