Katie J Sanderson

I met Katie roughly 10 years ago, and have watched her career grow from afar, a skilled chef and passionate innovator from the outset, she embodies a holistic view of nourishment. She has recently collaborated with the Michael Keegan production of Swan Lake, feeding the dancers and crew. 

Katie said of the experience “I was so excited that I might make a difference within their working week, to feed and fuel them and nurture their bellies”.

Nothing to me is a more pure expression of creativity than to truly consider the effect you might have on the people around you, and to make food to that makes people dance, what's better than that?

“I was born and grew up in Hong Kong. Surrounded by slurping noodles, shared meals and loud markets. I spent summers in the West of Ireland. Picking blackberries and jumping in rock-pools.

I move a lot and start projects when the time or a topic inspires me. I love to bring people together to pass on anything I pick up along the way and to continually take more in.

I am interested in sustainable practices, local ingredients and using food as a way to nourish the body.Oh and I also believe that we need to work towards wasting less too

I base a lot of my work around vegetables, I still love jumping in rock pools although I have progressed to picking seaweeds from them too and have a obsessive interest in anything fermented.

I am mainly based in Dublin where I can be found running workshops, hosting dinners, offering consultations or making things in The Fumbally.”
