Hey my name's Anna! I grew up in Limerick and my family are now based in beautiful Killaloe, Co. Clare. I moved to France in 2015 to begin my culinary career in Alain Ducasse’s cookery school. That experience led me to Michelin star kitchens in France and Ireland. I’ve been traveling as a chef across the world since, from to farm-to-table yoga retreats in Spain and Portugal to cooking at high end restaurants in London and the Middle East.

KLAW
Dublin, Ireland
chef
"on a lunchtime visit, I enjoyed an utterly delicious lobster bisque whilst friend Mary chowed down on some tasty Buffalo ‘Ray Wings’. Following up, I enjoyed tucking into a bowl of Mac ’n Cheese with sweet, fresh crab meat, while across the table, an order of ‘dressed’ oysters with kimchi and a hot sour Thai namjim dipping sauce, went down a treat. A delicious chocolate brownie with a side of Guinness ice-cream to share, was the perfect way to cap off our visit, and, with that, we set sail for home, having Klawed our way through some truly great seafood” Lucinda O'Sullivan

Her food was bursting with flavour and colour. Absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to have Anna cook for me again." - Laurie
