This year's summer soap, The Lost Recipe , is a summer mystery with a romantic subplot and an underlying theme of food - and involves a search for a long-lost recipe. It was written by Emma Tirlot from the MA in Creative Writing Programme at UCC. Catch up with previous episodes at echolive.ie
In the eighth episode, Claire and Fionn are enjoying each other’s company.
