A member of the Irish Food Writers Guild since 2019, Kate has written extensively for a number of esteemed publications, and was just last month named Blas na hÉireann’s Producers’ Champion for 2023 for her dedication to championing the best of everything Irish and independent. When I moved to west Cork a year or so later, I realised I was in the beating heart of the Irish artisan food movement and surrounded by all kinds of amazing people growing, making and creating delicious things to eat and drink. I wanted to tell everyone back home what an amazingly delicious place I had found myself in, and started my blog, Flavour.ie, as a place to write about my food adventures.
When it comes to food production, Ireland is world class. We have such a rich larder of foods at our fingertips, it’s an embarrassment of riches. But we have issues: we need more vegetable growers, and we need government policy to support the ones remaining and encourage more to come into the sector. Ireland should never have to rely on imported vegetables because all our own growers have finally given up and packed it in.
Food means everything to me. It’s how I show love, it’s how I provide nourishment, it’s how I like to gather with people. But it’s also how I mark the year, with seasons and the different foods that come available. It’s how I view the whole world. John McKenna often says, “food is an aleph”, meaning that through one point of singularity you can see everything. That’s what food is to me: it’s everything we are.
