ABOUT:
Eat Like A Girl is one of the most popular food blogs around and has almost 6,000 Twitter followers. It was rewarded with a “highly commended” star at the 2010 Observer Food Awards.
But the name of the blog belies Niamh Shields’ hearty, omniverous approach to cooking and eating. There’s no girlie messing about with food here, which makes it a very comforting foodie read as the nights draw in.
Niamh writes about her home cooking (roast pork and black bean chilli; five spice duck breast), eating on her travels and lunch out at posh restaurants. She used to run a very popular market stall at Covent Garden and promises it will return.
BLOG SNIPPET:
“I am quite lazy in the morning, but quite demanding of what is put in my mouth. I only want good bread, but don’t want to travel to get it.
Back to my humble roots I go, it’s time for soda farls. Fried Irish bread, especially for breakfast.
Soda farls are terrific, and so easy to make. They are fried, delivering crisp, bronzed farls, perfect for tearing and dipping into your gorgeous egg yolk and scooping some morcilla. I defy you not to chomp into the fluffy interior immediately.
