Fed By Red: Episode 1 - Weight Loss

Fed By Red is RedFM's brand new cookery show fronted by Kinsale Gourmet Academy's David Rice.

In this episode David visits Victoria & Gavin at their home in Mitchelstown. Both work full time and commute from Mitchelstown to Cork daily. They find that by the time they return home in the evenings, there is little time to prepare a healthy meal and they resort to fast options like takeout. Dave shares healthier alternatives for breakfast, lunch and dinner that are quick and easy to prepare and of a higher nutritional value.
