Series 1, Episode 4
Mark visits his former mentor and colleague, Ciaran Sweeney in Dublin’s Forest and Marcy restaurant. Together, they talk about the positive and negative aspects of living and being a chef in Dublin. Ciaran tells Mark how his life has changed since becoming a father two years ago and his focus has shifted from worrying about winning awards to making gingerbread with his daughter.
Having worked in some of the best restaurants in Ireland and the UK, Ciaran is looking to the future and the next step, he wants to head home to Donegal to live the simple life and set up his own restaurant. To get a taste of Ciaran’s homelife, Mark and Ciaran travel to Breac House in Donegal for their pop up evening and create a menu with ingredients sourced from local producers.
