The Druid Chef aka Ruairi O'Morachain

Ruairi O'Morachain was born in Dublin in 1963 and educated at Scoil Lorcain, Colaiste Eoin and Rockwell College. A fluent Irish speaker and enthusiast of all things Celtic he graduated from Cathal Brugha Street College and Thames University College London.

He then went on to refine his culinary talents in the kitchens of many of the world's greatest hotels including the Dorchester, the Ritz and the Berkeley in London, the Baur au lac, Zurich, the Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans, the George V, Paris and the Nassuerhof, Wiesbaden, Germany. A man of many talents, Ruairi is a media natural.

In a number of the hotels where he worked celebrities enjoyed visiting the kitchens where they could share the fun of cooking or simply enjoy fine food while watching the staff perform culinary miracles. He has cooked for many stars and media figures including Princess Diana, Michael Jackson, President Regan, Margaret Thatcher, Danny Kay and Tony Curtis. From these beginnings he has gone on to entertain and fascinate TV audiences in the US, Europe and here in Ireland with mouth watering displays of cookery presented in his own inimitable style.
