The Bake & Bite

Five Young Chefs Selected for BIM’s Taste the Atlantic 2024 Young Chef Ambassador Programme Bord Iascaigh Mhara has today announced the five young chefs selected for BIM’s Taste the Atlantic 2024 Young Chef Ambassador Programme

West Cork Chef selected for BIM’s Taste the Atlantic 2024 Young Chef Ambassador Programme Five young chef's have been selected as Ambassadors.

Introducing 22 year old Anna O’Leary, the fourth of our BIM Taste The Atlantic Young Chef Ambassadors!

Anna hails from a farm in Kilmichael in West Cork, and has a passion for growing her own and self-sufficiency as well as a love of cooking and baking.

She took her first steps into hospitality working as a kitchen assistant in the Auld Triangle, Macroom at the age of 15, and went on to work summers both front of house and in the kitchen at Gougane Barra Hotel. She discovered a love of the high pressure work environment and a drive for perfection in her work.

Originally pursuing an academic route studying Nutrition and Health Science, her love of food drove her to transfer to Culinary Arts in MTU where she has just completed her second year, alongside working at The Fig and Olive in Clonakilty where she looks after baking and pastry.

She also spends her time on her family’s farm where she grows her own herbs and vegetables and helps with their production of beef, lamb, chicken, eggs and honey.

In her spare time she cooks and bakes at home, with a focus on creative ways to use what is available in season on the farm, and shares these activities on Instagram and TikTok.

Being from West Cork, Anna feels connected with the seas as well as the land and wants to gain deeper knowledge of seafood production and its sustainability.
