This week the UK newspaper The Observer held it's prestigious 2011 Food Monthly Magazine awards and amongst the winners was Niamh Shields with her blog, which can be found at Eatlikeagirl.com, sweeping the Best Blogger Category following on from 2010 when she was amongst only two that made the Highly Commended class.
Niamh, born and raised here in Dungarvan, is gaining plenty of recognition whilst travelling and experiencing culinary delights, finding plenty of inspiration for new recipes to share with her multitude of readers whilst somehow still being able to find the time and energy to complete her first book "Comfort And Spice".
With Paul Flynn's (Tannery Restaurant) recent T.V series "Irish Food" so well received and the Dungarvan Brewing Company's acquisition of a Gold Medal at Blas na hEireann for their range of locally produced beer, ale and stout the town's "foodie" reputation is rising fast, along with my appetite........Congratulations!
