Food Fare originated as Shenanchie's Kitchen in May 2000. It developed into a personal cooking website, which was updated every month with personal favorites as well as in-depth articles about the food and culture from different countries around the world. The site closed in May 2005 because of Shenanchie's other commitments, but she continued to make "foody" entries at her blog Appetizing Muse on occasion.
Shenanchie's Kitchen re-emerged as Food Fare in October 2008, bringing with it global flavors found in unique and original recipes, seasonal favorites, informative and entertaining Food Articles, kitchen and cooking tips, food links and more.
Food Fare's exclusive Culinary Collection features more than three dozen titles. The books include information about the food and culture of different countries across the globe, holidays and food-specific topics. They also contain history, food traditions, lifestyle and dishes native to various countries, as well as authentic recipes, words and phrases in the native tongue of the subject, along with food terms.

Since the inception of Food Fare, the site has grown at a steady pace. What began as a personal website with a few Irish recipes and canine treats has blossomed into a multi-paged cooking treasure trove. Recipes included on the website now number more than one thousand. Recipes >
