With a coffee in hand (an oat cappuccino from the kitchen counter, no less), it’s time for another helping of Food In 5 Minutes.
If you’re not familiar with it, this is the part of the Ken On Food podcast that brings you five food stories plucked from Ireland across the past week, served up in five minutes or less, ish. You can also get a written version containing these stories by joining my free newsletter here.
Bonus: Read The Week In Food #32 and get some extra long reads for your Sunday morning plus recipes for the week ahead.
