Love Food
Hailing from the heart of the Midlands, Richard has spent most of his life in the vibrant town of Mullingar. Born in London, his rich Irish and Bengali heritage deeply influences his culinary creations, infusing them with a unique and unforgettable flair.
A graduate of Athlone Institute of Technology with a degree in Culinary Arts, Richard brings over 20 years of experience in hospitality and food service. Alongside his son Anthony, he runs a thriving food business known as The Bosca Bia Boys. Their flagship mobile kitchen, Bosca Bia an Grá—meaning The Love Food Box—perfectly embodies their passion for creating soul-satisfying meals. If you haven’t yet crossed paths with this dynamic duo, it’s only a matter of time. Richard’s philosophy is simple yet compelling: "If you’re searching for something that’s a feast of flavours and truly unforgettable, look no further."
In addition to their signature dishes, Richard has developed an innovative range of plant-based and vegetarian meals designed to enhance the dining experience. Recognising the growing demand for delicious, sustainable food options, he aims to make conscious eating easier and more accessible. "We understand people want to eat well and live sustainably, but life gets busy. That’s where we come in—to support you on that journey," Richard explains. For him, food is more than sustenance; it’s a story. "When you cook for someone, you’re telling them who you are, where you’re from, and what brings you joy."
The SuperValu Food Academy has been a beacon of light on this journey. It has provided invaluable learning experiences, industry insights, and a strong network of support. This program has not only helped refine our business through product development, branding workshops and marketing development, it has also reinforced our passion for what we do. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity and highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their food venture to the next level.
