Building on the success of series one and two, Catherine Fulvio’s top RTÉ One TV show, Tastes Like Home is back for a third series and is looking for participants from around the globe – and from right here at home. 

There are Kerry and Castleisland people in every known corner of the world. So, if you’d like to be the next TV foodie star – and if have a loved one living abroad – that’s you qualified and the show planners will want to hear from you.

Call for Applications

Catherine Fulvio, together with programme sponsor, Londis, has issued a call for applicants who wish to star in the third season of the show which will air on RTÉ One later in 2018.

“Food is part of our culture and our heritage and it is evident from this TV series, Tastes Like Home, that when we move abroad it is one of the first things we miss about home.

“It has been a pleasure for me to bring the distinctive flavours or Ireland to all four corners of the globe and I look forward to doing it again in series three thanks to Londis,” said Catherine Fulvio. 

Irish Families Far and Near

So far, the programme has followed Irish families far and near from South Korea, London, Canada and South Africa with dishes including a mouthwatering seafood platter of smoked scallops and lobster, to a traditional fish pie with a twist and a very Irish nettle and leek soup.

We all have a dish that awakens the very best of memories, and we want you to share yours with the nation! Catherine  will visit your loved one wherever they live, be it Hong Kong, Iceland, Poland, Wellington or Brisbane, and help them recreate the dish that Tastes Like Home.

Loved One Abroad

“As well as Irish families with loved ones abroad we are also looking to feature people or families who have settled here and now call Ireland home in these stories Catherine will meet you and then travel to visit your family and friends from your homeland,” said programme researcher, Sharyn Mitchell.

Successful applicants will host Catherine in their home and teach her how to whip up their gastronomical delight. Catherine then visits their loved one abroad, taking viewers on a whistle-stop tour of their home away from home, before helping to re-create the dish that for them, tastes like home.
