Location: Taste Stage
Ali Dunworth is a writer, journalist, consultant and events curator who loves writing and talking about food and drink so much that she’s made a career out of it.
She started out working in hospitality before a career behind the scenes in food TV. In between TV productions, she always returned to bar and restaurant work, either waiting tables, making drinks or back in the kitchen. As a freelance food, drink and travel writer, Ali contributes to the Irish Times, Irish Independent, Examiner and many others.
In 2024, she published her first book, A Compendium of Irish Pints. She also curates and hosts numerous Irish food events and festival stages. At the heart of everything Ali does is great local food and drink and a hunger for the stories that go with them.
