November 3, 2025

In this episode we meet Ella Ryan, the Development Manager for The Centre of Food Culture Ireland in the Boyne Valley—a hub that champions storytelling, sustainability, and the vibrant tapestry of Irish food traditions.

Ella shares exciting insights into the work of the Centre and tells us more about the upcoming Samhain Festival of Food and Culture, taking place from the 6th to the 9th of November 2025 in Kells, Co. Meath. It’s a festival that brings together producers, chefs, artists, and thinkers to mark the ancient Celtic New Year with a modern celebration of food, folklore, and community.

Best Possible Taste is Ireland’s longest-running food and drink podcast.
