About Forkful
We are friends who love making simple food look beautiful. We hope our recipes will inspire you to get into the kitchen this season. Aoife McElwain works in front of the camera writing the recipes and styling the food, while Mark Duggan works behind the camera to make sure it all looks as delicious as possible. We work with editors such as Killian Broderick and music supervisors like Nialler9 to make sure that our finished videos look and sound as smart as possible. We work with brands like Glenisk and Folláin to help them create delicious video content for their online platforms. When we're not making videos, we write a weekly column called Speedy Suppers on Thursdays in The Irish Independent. Aoife writes the recipes and styles the food while Mark takes the photographs.

Avocado Brunch We are really pleased to share the news that forkful has joined the team at INSIDER magazine, a new lifestyle supplement with The Irish Independent on Thursdays. In our new weekly column, the forkful team will be bringing you our current squeeze on the recipe front and share with you the food that's currently inspiring us. We'll be talking about our triumphs and failures in the kitchen, and the Irish ingredients that makes us love rolling up our sleeves and get cooking. INSIDER's first issue appeared yesterday in The Irish Independent and we were tickled pink to be in the same pages as opinionated funny folk Colm Tobin and Carole Tobin, sassy style gurus such as Corina Gaffney and, of course, our forkful collaborator Nialler9. Pick up the magazine every Thursday in The Irish Independent.
