Irena Macri

Irena Macri was born in Ukraine and moved to Australia with her mum at the age of sixteen. She graduated from the College of Fine Arts at UNSW with a Bachelor of Digital Media and went on to spend almost ten years building her career in the digital media industry in Australia before realising that her true calling lay elsewhere – in her kitchen.

Being a passionate, self-taught cook and drawing on her love of world cuisines and all-natural ingredients, Irena decided to pour all her energy into producing delicious recipes that promote wellness and longevity. She has built a loyal following and an enthusiastic community around her website Eat Drink Paleo and co-authors a holistic lifestyle website, Rejuvenated For Life. Her paleo-inspired book, Eat Drink Paleo Cookbook has become a popular addition to kitchens around the world and her recipes and articles have appeared in many magazines and publications, including Body+Soul, Woman's Day, WellBeing Magazine, Prevention, The Guardian and LifestyleFood.

Irena is a digital nomad and an avid traveller. She divides her time between London and Sydney.
