About Me

Welcome to my food blog - My name is Megan and I am a major food lover, a cookbook obsessive but also a home cook.  Food makes me so happy! And I want to share this happiness with everyone.  I want to record my favourite recipes from cooking shows, websites and my beloved cookbooks and the idea is to buy the food locally and make something yummy, simple but special - if I can make it, so can you! While I have always had a keen interest in cooking and baking, I have received zero training so I’m very much a home cook but I hope to get in contact with local bakers and chefs to showcase what the North West of Northern Ireland has to offer.  Yes, there are great things happening in Belfast but don't forget about us up here!!! 

I am fortunate to live on the edge of the beautiful wild Sperrins outside a small village called Feeny.  I love living here - the air is clean and fresh, I have family all around and it’s a beautiful place to live.

I lived in Belfast for 6 years as I studied for an Undergrad and PhD in Linguistics. While my culinary journey was not an inspiring one in my undergraduate years (Chicken Fajitas anyone?), I became spoilt by the variety of brunch destinations, coffee shops and markets that I had in such close proximity throughout those years. Having lived in Feeny for over a year now, it is the access to all those lovely food places that a foodie like me has missed the most!  However, with every downside comes an opportunity and while I mainly bought cookbooks to admire and dream about, now I am making a conscious effort to use them and to try and make all the yummy food that I have missed so dearly in my own kitchen with ingredients that I can buy locally.  Some of these work out, others do not (my burritos were NOT good - Boojum is safe for now) but I'd like to share with you all of these successes and maybe some failures because we are all human!

Feel free to get in touch with me and give me some feedback or ideas.  You can also connect with me on social media.  I really can’t wait to hear from you and will try my best to reply within a couple of days.
