Jolene Cox is an award-winning family food writer and content creator. She has featured on national TV as well as in leading newspapers and magazines. She is also a member of the Irish Food Writers’ Guild. As the founder of her Family Cooking Club, Jolene is dedicated to equipping kids with the skills to get hands on with fresh ingredients and to create restaurant-quality dishes. Alongside her daughter, Lily Mae, her mission is to empower kids to cook the food they love while giving parents the peace of mind to let them lead in the kitchen. When she’s not in the kitchen, Jolene relaxes by taking her dog, Noodles, for walks and enjoying a gin and tonic (though not at the same time!). Lily Mae Cox has been cooking alongside her mum, Jolene, ever since she could sit up in a feeding chair. Now a key part of their Family Cooking Club, Lils helps lead the weekly cooking classes, acting as a fun and relatable role model to inspire the other kids in the kitchen. With her infectious enthusiasm and encouraging, lovable manner, she adds joy to every class and has even joined her mum on TV and at live cooking demos. When she’s not whipping up dishes, Lily Mae enjoys crocheting, art, drama and chatting with friends, always adding her creativity and warmth to everything she does.
