Of all the names taking part in the Foodcamp Food Fight Regina may be least known to you. Thanks to Ella McSweeney for sending us this clip of Regina talking to Darina Allen about the history of Irish Food Writing.

The (Short) History of Irish Food Writing (mp3)

Regina has also got a number of publications including  A Little History of Irish Food (Gill and Macmillan, 1999) and Ireland’s Traditional Foods (Teagasc, 1997).

Which leads nicely into the Irish Food Bloggers Association. Launched at last years foodcamp by Caroline Hennessy and Kristin Jenson there are now nearly 450 members. WOW

Kristin and Caroline have taken a slot at this years event to look at what has been achieved and to discuss with food bloggers what can be done in the next year.

‘The IFBA’s first year: a bloggers’ brainstorming session for what’s next’.

We’ll give a short overview of who we are, what we do and what we’ve accomplished during our first year and after that it will be a brainstorming session for bloggers to explore the opportunities coming up.
