Do you see the Irish food landscape having changed since the Celtic Tiger hit and de ated, and if so, how? Are the Irish expecting more from their food now?
Since the recession, consumers have become both more knowledgable about food & more financially savvy. These days, no one minds spending a bit more on a good, local product, but they want to make sure they're getting their money's worth. We in the food business can't assume our customers are uneducated about food or don't care where the products they buy are coming from. That means business owners have to go the extra mile to maintain a good clientele.

Do you have any favourite memories about food as you were growing up? Was there anything always being prepared around the house?
I grew up in England, so my happy food memories include eating whelks at my granny's with my uncles, who were fishermen; sprats for Saturday suppers; and the delicious sweet & sour spare ribs my mom used to make after getting the recipe from a former Malaysian boyfriend.
Any interesting business plans in the works?
We're constantly thinking about the future. We hope to gradually expand in the coming months. Stay tuned!
