A literal and figurative hunger led Suzanna to create Banana Melon Kitchen, an innovative plant-based food start-up based in Cork city bai. After moving to a more plant based diet in college, Suzanna couldn’t find any decent vegan food - so decided to make her own. Having a background in art, design and computer science, she started BMK as a fusion of food and art. Wanting to create edible alchemy with an emphasis on colour and creativity, and of course, using plants only! Melinn, originally from Clare, started with a stage in Paradiso in 2017 after moving to Cork and since then has done a number of food/art collaborations, with OHK Kinsale, Brown Thomas, Design pop and the Glass Curtain. BMK have also been featured in the Irish times “50 people to watch ”.
