Karen Coakley @kenmarefoodtours_karencoakley is a food blogger, TV cook, and owner of Kerry Food Tours. She is from Bantry, West Cork, and currently lives in Kenmare, Co. Kerry with her family. Karen is passionate about home cooking, local produce, and the South Kerry and West Cork areas. Karen gave up alcohol on the 1st of January 2024 and is absolutely loving her alcohol free life. She details this adventure on @mywinelesslife. Karen is deeply enthusiastic about the benefits she has experienced in the last 10 months.

Karen started her Food Blog back in 2012 when she was a stay at home Mom to find a way to share her obsession with food, her love of her locality and little snippets of life as her four boys grew up.
In 2018 she started Kenmare Foodie Tours (walking Food Tours of Kenmare) and finally took the ultimate step in coming out of her Kitchen and starting a little business which she has nurtured very carefully and in 2023 launched her second lot of Food Tours in Killarney and on the Beara Penninsula.
In 2024 Karen rebranded the 3 tours under the umbrella of Kerry Food Tours.
Karen also cooks regularly on TV, features in the media and often on Radio and runs online Home Cooking and Wellness Groups.
