My Food Guide to Northern Ireland

This year I am starting a new independent project which looks at the food scene in Northern Ireland. I really believe that Northern Ireland is an incredibly underrated food destination. In my years of living here, eating out, shopping for food and actually meeting farmers and small-scale producers, I have really enjoyed local quality produce which is available at very affordable prices. And because I feel so passionate about local food and about the great deals on offer I want to share my experiences, where I eat, where I shop and what farmers and producers I meet as I travel around the country this year. It's a personal journey really, of me discovering Northern Ireland's food culture, which I hope you will follow.

I have already started out with some reviews of where to eat in Belfast. Belfast has a varied selection of high quality yet affordable restaurants, and here are a few of them. In future I will also be looking at certain shops, markets or schemes where you can get your food from, so stay tuned. And finally, I'm arranging with boxa box scheme in County Antrim to make a short programme on their scheme and some of the farmers that supply them. So thanks for reading and there will be more interesting stuff to come!
