Swamp came to light in 2025, created by me, Sarah Blake. My cooking is inspired by play, by cooking with what you have, and not dwelling on what you miss. 
Cooking with what is in season and what can be found in the wild has changed my outlook on food. There is so much available to us, so cooking with the seasons brings back the sense of guidance from and with nature.

Swamp is another name for wetland, or the bog, a place that holds a special grip on Irish people. Rich in nutrients, tales, and folklore, it is a place of mysticism that draws the curious mind closer. This is something that brings inspiration in the kitchen. We don’t need to invent the wheel; just follow the stories, respect the land and what it gives, and in turn, give back. 

Food is about connection, sharing, and storytelling. A meal shared tastes richer.
