Chef Oonagh Williams talks to us about real food and how to cook it, why it’s better for our health and how to avoid sickness by improving our diet in this segment. She pulls no punches and has a whole lot to say about a whole lot of issues surrounding food, how it’s grown, processed, cooked and consumed.
Oonagh Williams was born and brought up in London, England. She has a Culinary Arts Degree and trained in London and Switzerland. Having traveled extensively throughout Europe, she has an eclectic view of different cultures and cuisines that she incorporates into her consulting. People love her down to earth, common sense attitude, approach and entertaining stories. She has called Merrimack, NH home since 1987.
Oonagh divides her time between consulting/speaking on how to cook for a gluten free (and other food allergies) or just healthier food diet; teaching Adult International Cooking classes; and regularly appearing on WMUR, the local ABC TV station. Oonagh offers Gourmet, International, Super Bowl fare and Grandma’s comfort food for her client’s and student’s delight. Everything is from scratch, with all real ingredients – not a packet mix in sight! Everyone raves about Oonagh’s food after rediscovering how good food can taste.
