About

Hello food lovers!! My name is Shoba, I am a graduate in Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Service Management and have many years of experience working in the Food and Service Industry.

In my homeland of India, I was inspired by my mother’s amazing cooking and this is where my passion towards food began. After moving to Ireland with my family where I spent almost two decades, I further enhanced my cooking skills. This created the opportunity to work in the catering industry and ultimately set up my own food production business where I cooked, packaged and supplied Indian ready meals to local supermarkets in Ireland. In addition, I conducted several Indian cookery classes in Galway, Ireland to spread the benefits of Indian cuisine to my fellow citizens. After successfully running my business for many years, I looked to start a new chapter in my life as I relocated with my family from Ireland to the United States.

My heart and mind always revolve around food and the kitchen; therefore, I am very enthusiastic and passionate to share the dishes that I prepare to all of you. I am sure with the luck of the “shamrock” and the “spice” of life you will learn a new recipe and be able to create a marvelous meal.

As I am continuously addicted with food and cooking and have immense experience in preparing various unique dishes over the years, I am inspired to pass on my spoonful of knowledge to all of you readers. I started my blog because I felt it would be the perfect space to share all my recipes and hopefully learn something new along the way. I decided to name my blog “Shamrock Spice” because the “shamrock” represents Ireland and the “spice” represents India, which were the two countries where I spent the majority of my life.

Shamrock Spice would like to take every opportunity to share flavorful, and delicious dishes to all my friends. I strive to inspire others and create a spark in cooking food for everyone. This platform will be used to share recipes for simple dishes for students, singles, children, and family dinners.
All the dishes that are presented to you are prepared in my kitchen from scratch and spice mixes are ground at home. I will concentrate mainly on preparing dishes with natural ingredients and to provide a good variety of vegetarian, vegan, meat and gluten free recipes.

Shamrock Spice would like to take you all on a global food epic journey where you can relish and reproduce the same dishes in the comfort of your home kitchen. We feature weekly items like appetizers, snacks, breakfast items, tiffin items, main meals, recreated recipes, and innovative dishes.
