The Beginning.

                                                

   As all things must, this is the beginning.

My name is Emma. I am a 32 year old Dubliner born bred and buttered as they say. I have always had an interest in food and where that food comes from . I'm interested in the processes and people involved in getting food to our tables and the story's behind them.

I would like to connect the farmers and producers to consumers by bringing them together to share experiences and knowledge here. So I have set out with a purpose to discover how the food process works. I am inviting you to come along on the journey with me.

When I was a little girl I spent allot of time with my grandmother in what was then semi rural Dublin. She taught me to bake in her kitchen and we spent allot of time in the phoenix park and surrounding areas which at the time and to my young eyes was "the country" however I am sure that many people would disagree that Castleknock is the country!. From there I have always carried a love of food and nature. Combining the two feels like a natural progression and passion for me.

I feel food should nourish us both in body and soul, strive to be ethical and wholesome and have value beyond monetary worth. I'm drawn toward food with a story, a background and a history. So on my journey I will look for these story's as much as I can.

I feel there is a food revolution coming, spreading like a river from further afield into our fair isle and people are embracing it. We really should embrace it and get back to the simplicity of what food can be. Food is a part of our every day. Every day we should be excited by it and made better for having eaten it.

On my journey I Hope to provide a soundboard for interested people with the possibility of community relationships and facilities. I hope to visit various locations, producers and people involved in the food chain and share my experiences here with you. I will also share with you recipes, reviews, recommendations and non food related posts about things that inspire and excite me.

I hope you enjoy my blog and we can share this adventure together.
