Their combined skills and passions have created a timeless collectors item that will bring color and joy to kitchens globally, whilst elevating Ireland as a food heaven." 
Eamon Eastwood, Founder & CEO TASTE IRELAND\n"I loved this book! A great look at Irish food, past and present, showcasing the multicultural land and food we have today. Brilliant read." 
COLIN FASSNIDGE, chef, author and star of Channel 7's 'My Kitchen Rules'\n"Biddy and Kady present a uniquely Irish cookbook filled with fascinating stories and delicious recipes. It is beautifully structured, delightfully visual and charmingly Irish."
