Client Testimonial

“Working with Lucy was not a regimented diet plan, it was about becoming aware of how foods affect our body and being held accountable for what I eat. I would highly recommend Lucy to anyone who wishes to get healthier through better eating.”
Benjamin, Cork

Ruth Healy, URRU Culinary Store

Food and Health Education Articles


WOW, I write a lot! As I have put education as the main focus of my business, I write as much as possible on the role of food in our health. I try to encourage people to try new ingredients or to check out my healthy recipes. Nutrition isn’t something for books, its there everyday, in our meals and snacks!
