Sustainable Seafood
I’m Niamh—a food obsessed recipe developer with a background in hospitality and a passion for creating fresh, beautiful dishes. I specialise in Mediterranean cuisine that’s vibrant, flavourful, and built around quality ingredients. My approach to food is rooted in connection—whether I’m creating new recipes or hosting friends for dinner, I believe great food is meant to be shared. I focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and simple techniques that let the flavours shine, always with the goal of bringing people together around the table.

Experience
Experience
With over six years of experience across hospitality, food media, and recipe development, I now develop flavour-packed, customer-loved recipes at HelloFresh Australia. Earlier in my career, I worked in New York at a bustling Australian-owned café while contributing to the city’s food media scene—writing reviews, assisting with food photography, and supporting PR campaigns for hospitality brands. My work is grounded not only in strong culinary skills, but also in a deep understanding of what people genuinely love to eat—recipes that are approachable, satisfying, and full of flavour.
