SIX CULTURES,
ONE KITCHEN

Fusion Kitchen is a feel-good community TV series where food, stories, and cultures come together around one table. In each of the six episodes, you’ll meet six people – three working chefs and three  cooking enthusiasts – living in Ireland. Alongside Linda from Meath’s sea coast town of Laytown, are Mykola, assisted by partner Viktoria from Ukraine, who have established Ireland’s first Ukrainian restaurant, Lucy, on Dublin’s Clanbrasil Street, Yebin from South Korea who is known as the Singing Chef at Song and Jenn’s Kitchen – the very popular Korean street food restaurant in Drogheda, family-taught cook Ivan representing his. homeland of Brazil, the ‘suya’ barbecue wizard Ken from Nigeria whose Suya Man African street food eatery on Palace Street in Drogheda is growing in fame and Jasmine, an Indian woman deeply involved in the Drogheda community, and Ireland. The six participants take turns preparing a dish from their own national cuisine and serving it up to the others at the Fusion Kitchen table.

The host and mentor for the series is celebrated Irish chef Tara Walker, known for her warm approach and deep knowledge of world flavours. Filmed in her beautiful East Coast Cookery School kitchen in Termonfeckin, Co. Louth, Tara offers gentle guidance, encouragement, and the occasional taste test as each cook shares the story behind their dish.

There’s laughter, music, the occasional spicy surprise, and plenty of heart. By the end of each episode, the group sits down together to enjoy the meal – and what started as a cooking session becomes a celebration of friendship and cultural exchange.
