From earliest times breadmaking has been an integral part of daily life in almost every home and it is still a living tradition. In the Ballymaloe Bread Book Tim Allen shares his enthusiasm for bread baking with more than a hundred recipes for every conceivable type of bread, from simple scones and soda bread (not forgetting the famous Ballymaloe Brown Bread!) to pizza and focaccia and some exotic ethnic breads.And being the good teacher that he is, everything is eminently practical with nothing left to chance or guesswork. No matter how slight or extensive your cooking experience, The Ballymaloe Bread Book will become your constant kitchen companion.

This is the essential Dublin. It is all here: the places to see and things to do, the sights not to be missed. You haven't forever, so this book keeps it snappy. 'Seven Days in Dublin' groups the city's highlights into easy-to-follow daily excursions. Day 1 deals with the absolute must-see essentials, so that the book is as useful to the visitor with just one day to spare as to those with three, five or seven days in hand. Shane Kennedy also provides details of optional one-day excursions out of town, to the Boyne Valley to the north of the city and to County Wicklow to the south. For each day of your visit, the author presents you with a puzzle, the solutions to which is found in the text for that day's itinerary. He gives personal recommendations for 10 good restaurants, 10 good pubs, 10 things you can only do in Dublin and a summary of the city's history in 347 words. He deals with the city's night life, the gay and lesbian scene, and a personal fix on such things as the city's best barber shop, the best deli, the best chipper and so on. 'Seven Days in Dublin' gets to the point and stays there. It is opinionated; it is up-to-date; it isn't bland. It thinks that Dublin is great, but could be better. It tells you what you can afford to miss. It is the perfect guide for people in a hurry.

Seven Days in Dublin: Everything to See and Do

In 1979, when Charlie Haughey was voted leader of Fianna Fail and Taoiseach he gave a press conference. At it, he was asked where his money came from. He said the question presumed he was rich, which mightn't be the case: 'Ask my bank manager', he replied. We now know that that was a better joke than it seemed. At the time, he was in debt to AIB to the tune of IR Punt1.143 million. Haughey dominated Irish political life from the sixties to the nineties. He had always lived beyond his visible means. From 1969 on he lived like a prince in Kinsealy, at times on nothing more than a backbench TD's salary. Colm Keena traces the origins of Haughey's lifestyle back to the 1950s and to his early life as a partner in Haughey Boland & Co. He follows his early involvement with Des Traynor and his developing relationships with property developers. Through all the ups and downs of Haughey's amazing career, the financial background was always a mess. He was constantly in debt. The bank leaned on him. He leaned on his friends. Less than a fortnight after becoming Taoiseach, the property developer Patrick Gallagher agreed to contribute IR Punt300,000 towards a settlement of Haughey's bank debts. While he was Taoiseach, the money rolled in. Haughey was in effect a kept man. Colm Keena traces the whole tangled story from beginning to end. It is a story that almost defies belief.
