In our final Food Month podcast, Lilly Higgins chats with her fellow Irish Times food writer Aoife McElwain. Listening to their conversation is like eavesdropping on two well-seasoned food bloggers sharing experiences and tips. McElwain is also a creative events planner, a food stylist, half of the duo behind forkful.tv, and the founder and host of Sing Along Social, “a zero-commitment choir for people who can’t sing”. “I never used to prioritise time for myself or friends or down time,” McElwain says. As well as learning about food, she found it a great way to practise writing; she also learned about photographing food – “the dark art of food styling” – which then became one of her jobs when she started forkful.tv with Mark Duggan.
