This was a fun one! Our guests on this week’s episode followed their passions for food from the Philippines and Poland to Denmark, where they met, fell in love, and honed their craft, before moving to Kilkenny to open one of the best bread bakeries in Ireland. Since opening in 2019, Nicole and Bart have won the Supreme Champion Award at Blas na hÉireann; the Irish Times Top 100 Best Places to Have Lunch in Ireland; Ireland’s Best Brunch at the Georgina Campbell Irish Breakfast Awards; and were recently named Best in Ireland 2025 by the McKenna Guide.

On this week’s episode, we talk to Nicole Server-Pawlukojc and Bart Pawlukojc about going from fine dining in Denmark to serving brunch in Kilkenny; how Noma is a four letter word; faking it till you make it; and the trials and tribulations of using heritage grains.

Another Round? Ali Dunworth on Irish Pint Culture

The experience of going for a pint in Ireland is more than a rite of passage, it’s a cultural institution. Thís week on Dyed Green, we speak with writer, journalist, and events producer Ali Dunworth about her book A Compendium of Irish Pints: The Culture, Customs, and Craic. Ali found her way into the world of food & drink via a stint in tv production in London, before pivoting to write about food full-time and organize festivals in Ireland.

Ón this week’s episode, we talk to Ali about her encyclopedia of pints, from the deep & meaningful to birthday pints and more. We also discuss how to poor a proper pint; expectations for buying a round at a pub; old man pubs; and how Guinness came through for pub drinkers during Covid.

Connemara, a good place for thinking.

Delighted to attend our first conference last week! It was so great to see familiar faces and meet new folks as well. We loved the Rye bread class by , and grabbed some amazing books from Mairtin Mac Con Iomaire, .f.kattan, , and more. Coffee breaks with mountains of Irish cheese, butter, and sourdough were the perfect place to catch up and get to know so many interesting people from around the world. See you next year!

After a bit of a break, Dyed Green is back with a conversation with Paula McIntyre, a chef, writer, and broadcaster and the director of Slow Food Northern Ireland, based in Portstewart in County Derry. Paula’s passion for cooking began at the age of 8, when she visited an Italian deli in Edinburgh, where she had a formative experience with parmesan cheese and Parma ham. As luck would have it, Kate met Paula at a market in Rome while crying and eating pizza.

McIntyre thinks chefs waste too much time trying to make something fancy that would taste better if it were more simply prepared: “You’re not going to end up with anything in three hours that you wouldn’t have ended up with in two minutes.” On today’s episode, we discuss Paula’s enduring love affair with turnip tops and Red Cow parmesan, attending culinary school in the United States, and following the food journey of Ulster Scots immigrants along the Appalachian trail.
