Emily McCorkell, from Derry, Northern Ireland, overcame personal hardship by turning her stress-cooking hobby into a thriving barbecue business. After losing her family home and facing her husband's illness, she found solace in cooking and eventually launched Lo & Slo, selling sauces based on family recipes. She further expanded her venture by opening a food truck and establishing a barbecue school at the historic Brook Hall estate in Derry.
A Derry woman who started “stress-cooking” after losing her family home while dealing with her husband’s illness said she has rebounded by building her own culinary business.
She said: “We had rented out our home in Derry when we moved to Dublin, but our tenants then moved out meaning we could return home. Ms McCorkell said: “Norman and I knew we had a choice of living on benefits and not being able to give our children the futures we wanted for them, or we could fight back.”
