Food Stories from Here

Arts EN ↓ 2 episodes

Food is never just food. It is land, sea, weather, work, memory, skill, family, money, pride and place. FOOD STORIES FROM HERE is about the people shaping Northern Ireland’s food culture now: farmers, growers, chefs, bakers, fishers, producers, shopkeepers, writers, broadcasters, community cooks and quiet grafters who keep the whole thing moving. Some stories will be big, like the BBC Food & Farming Awards coming to Northern Ireland for the first time. Others start in a field, kitchen, harbour, market stall or family business. Northern Ireland has a food story worth telling.
