Catherine Fulvio

Renowned Irish cook, award-winning author and food personality, Catherine Fulvio brings a vibrant blend of Irish heart and Sicilian soul to everything she cooks. Raised on a working farm in County Wicklow, Catherine's love of fresh, seasonal ingredients began early and has shaped her entire culinary philosophy.


Owner of the charming Ballyknocken House & Cookery School in Wicklow, Catherine has turned her family’s farmhouse into a hub of homegrown goodness, complete with kitchen gardens and her little flock of sheep. She's a Daytime Emmy-nominated TV host with credits including Catherines Italian Kitchen and Tastes like Home with Catherine Fulvio


With six acclaimed cookbooks to her name, Catherine is a passionate advocate for Irish produce and culture. Married to a Sicilian and deeply inspired by the Mediterranean way of life, she infuses her dishes with bold, sun-soaked flavours from Italy, especially Sicily.
