November is food month here at The Irish Times and to celebrate, we’re joined by TV chef and business woman Eva Pau on today’s episode. You may know Pau as the presenter of RTE’s Asian Kitchen, but she is also the managing director of Ireland’s largest Asian supermarket, which was founded by her parents on Dublin’s Drury street back in 1981.
As a young girl, Pau spent her days playing hide-and-seek between the aisles of Asia Market and learning all about food from her Hong-Kong born mother. In all aspects of her career, Pau has made it her mission to take the mystery out of Asian cooking and to show just how accessible, delicious and fun it can be. In this conversation, the mother of two speaks to Róisín Ingle about growing up immersed in the family business, the food memories that have stayed with her and they discuss the history of the much-loved Irish Spice Bag.
But first, Irish Times opinion editor Jennifer O’Connell is here to discuss the biggest story of the week: the very blue result in the US midterms.
Our next book club pick is Stations by Louise Kennedy.
