HI, I’M SHAHEDAH. I WAS TOLD THERE’D BE FOOD?
If you also came here for the food, you’re in the right place.

People often say they ‘live and breathe’ their favourite things. I don’t live and breathe food (can you imagine trying to breathe food? That would be weird), but I do eat it, cook it, talk about it, read about it, fantasise about it, learn about it, and plan my days around it. I am not one of those people who forget to eat lunch. A large portion of my brain power is forever consumed with food. Food is how I express myself, for myself and for others.

The Foodiarist is an extension of that. It’s my internal monologue as I explore food — different ingredients, techniques, textures, flavours, cuisines. It’s my food journey and my life and my relationship with the world and the people in it.

I hope you, my reader, enjoy being one of those people.
