Having 5 girls under 6 is no picnic, especially when 4 of them are quadruplets. How many more life changing events would you like after that How about the non quadruplet daughter is diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis That s what happened to Alicia Murphy. Alicia s husband and her 1 guest on tonight s show is Matt Murphy, owner and chef at Irish pub and restaurant, Irish House. So when their daughter wasn t responding well to traditional medication, Alicia turned to long nights of research and days experimenting with diet. From that dedication a new diet began to rule the Murphy household and will soon creep its way on to the Irish House menu too, but that s a story for a little later that Matt announces for the first time, on this show. Seeing a phenomenal success in their daughter s quality of life, Alicia and Matt started eating healthy too. The result Matt lost 35 pounds and Alicia opened a bakery and healthy food store on Magazine Street which she has called Fare Food Apothecary. What began as a practical joke in a Dublin restaurant where Matt was a chef and Alicia a waitress, involving Matt making chocolate covered goat cheese balls and passing them off as truffles, turned into a date which became a marriage and now a partnership in every sense of the word. This is a story about love and food and the power of both to change lives. It could change yours.
