Often called Ireland's hidden gem, Sligo is a small county full of culinary delights, and Father Ted actor Pauline McLynn is excited to show Anna around. Exploring Sligo Bay, Anna learns about lobster fishing and cooks up a meal to share with local fishermen.

Pauline shares fond childhood memories of beach picnics with her father in Strandhill before Anna takes pescatarian Pauline to an oyster farm where the pair are put to work during the busy summer season.

Wildlife broadcaster Liz Bonnin has travelled the world, but Clare on Ireland's west coast keeps calling her back. Its wild landscape and biodiversity captivated her as a teenager, and Anna is eager to explore.

Liz introduces Anna to those preserving Ireland's food culture by growing heritage fruits and vegetables. In Burren National Park, Liz reflects on her initial lack of love for Irish food, but Anna takes her to an award-winning goat cheesemaker to change her mind.
