To say this pre-Christmas episode is light would be an understatement. My mad interview with as friend Varin Marshall turned into 20minutes of craziness and bursts of laughter.

Listen to Varin talk about owning a health food shop, how he learned (or not) about healthy eating and why he thinks his pizza dinner is healthy.

He shares a recipe too.

Learning about vegetables, the organic way and healthy living on your own is fun for a while, but after a while it's good to have company.

Join me on a journey through Ireland as I visit people who dedicate their life to wellbeing and healthy living - farmers, veggie chefs, nutritionists, organic and healthy food and drink producers, food writers, health coaches, nutritionists, herbalists and other veggie lovers, and learn how to stay healthy and sane, the tasty way.

In the first episode you can join The Sweet Spud on a little trip to the Helen's Bay Organic Gardens to learn about organic farming from the farm's founder John McCormick.

John talks about his professional journey, organic farming, autumn at gardens and at the end, he shares a great curry recipe.
