Career
Barry began working in a professional kitchen at the age of 14,[1] as a kitchen porter. She began to work as a chef after attending a catering college in Newry, Northern Ireland.[2] She was mentored by chef Michael Deane, and started to work his restaurant Deanes in 2003. Barry travelled around the world to gain experience as a chef,[3] including at Simon Rogan's L'Enclume restaurant.[2] She moved on to work as sous chef under Raymond McCardle at Restaurant 23, before becoming head chef for Rogan at his Cartmel based restaurant Cartmel & Co in 2012.[4]
In 2014, she left to return to Northern Ireland where she opened restaurant Eipic as head chef under Deane, who owns the restaurant. Barry gained a Michelin star within 18 months,[3][4] becoming the only female chef in Ireland to hold the award,[1] and only the second ever.[2] In addition to cooking, she also forages herbs and wild garlic several times a week.[3]
Barry has appeared on BBC Two cooking competition Great British Menu in 2015, where she competed for Northern Ireland against Ben Arnold and Chris McGowan.[4] In 2016, she was named Irish Chef of the Year at the ninth Irish Restaurant Awards,[5] while the restaurant was named Ulster Restaurant of the Year and owner Deanes won Entrepreneur of the Year.[1] The same year, Barry was named one of 17 chefs to watch by Olive magazine.[6]
