NIAMH SHIELDS eats, sleeps, walks and breathes her passion.

Blending blogging and a love of food

By night she dreams of it, by day she scours markets for hours on end, endlessly seeking to find the best of it. She also forages for it, hopping on buses around London, looking in the most peculiar of places for the most peculiar of things. She writes about it, reads voraciously about it and maps out her year in terms of weekend breaks and longer sojourns where she can further uncover and savour the culinary idiosyncrasies of this world.

And all of this from a girl who, at the age of 21, thought it was all over. Born outside Dungarvan, Co Waterford, to parents, who “cooked because they had to” and nothing more, she first wandered into the family kitchen as she was sick of the same ol’ food being plated up each night.
