Rachel Allen
Rachel Allen born March 21, 1972 (age 37) in Dublin is an Irish celebrity chef.
Biography of Rachel Allen
Rachel Allen was brought up in Dublin and left home at eighteen to study at the world-famous Ballymaloe Cookery School. Rachel is now a busy TV chef, author, journalist and mother, and still teaches at Ballymaloe.
Rachel is the author of four bestselling cookery books, which include Rachel's Favourite Food at Home and Rachel's Food for Living. Her extremely popular television series for RTE and the BBC have been broadcast internationally and she frequently appears on BBC's Saturday Kitchen. Her charming manner and effortless style make her a delight to watch. Rachel is columnist and contributor to a number of Irish publications, including the The Sunday Tribune magazine, and is often featured in articles and interviews in the media.
Rachel's style of cooking is above all practical - simple but delicious food, ideal for family and friends. Her influences are both regional and global. The BBC describe her as an "Irish cooking queen" and Good Food magazine believe she "has put Irish cooking on the map in recent years". Rachel has a devoted fan base both in the UK and Ireland, and the popularity of her television programmes continues to rise.
Rachel lives in her seaside home in County Cork with her husband Isaac, sons Luka and Joshua and their dog Buddy.
Encouraged by her family, Allen went to the Ballymaloe Cookery School at the age of 18. After graduating from the school she cooked at the Ballymaloe House Hotel, eventually returning first to test recipes and then to teach at the school. She worked for a while as a caterer in Vancouver before returning again to teach at Ballymaloe.
In September 2004 RTE broadcast Allen’s first series Rachel’s Favourite Food, which has been broadcast in Australia, Italy, and elsewhere. A book, Rachel’s Favourite Food, accompanied the series, published by Gill & Macmillan. Two further TV series and books followed, Rachel’s Favourite Food for Friends and Rachel's Favourite Food At Home.
Allen is a frequent guest on Saturday Kitchen, and is one of the presenters on the UKTV Food Market Kitchen show. In 2008, she started her own series called Rachel Allen: Bake!.
Allen has written for many Irish publications including 3 years on Irish lifestyle magazine Image and now has a weekly column in The Sunday Tribune Magazine. She has also contributed to BBC Good Food magazine and AWT At Home magazine. Allen has most recently appeared at Taste of the World for the New York Times as the special guest of the Irish Tourist Board.
Allen lives near Ballymaloe with her husband, also a cook, who runs two restaurants in Cork, and her two sons and one daughter.
