IRELAND FOR FOOD LOVERS

IRELAND FOR FOOD LOVERS
Everything the food lover in Ireland needs to know...
by Georgina Campbell
 [Originally published in 2010 and still a useful reference.]

"What a lovely, lovely book! There should be a copy on show in every Irish embassy in the world...so comprehensive & so beautifully produced" Myrtle Allen

Food tourism in Ireland entered an exciting new phase with this book, the first to offer a complete user guide to finding and buying the best Irish foods – and how to enjoy them at their best, both when eating out and at home.

Ireland for Food Lovers brought together the plethora of information that food lovers otherwise have to glean from multiple sources, and presents it appealingly as a culinary adventure through the beautiful island of Ireland, exploring the rich diversity of foods from land, lake, river and sea and setting them in context with stunning photography.

Of equal interest to Irish residents and visitors, Ireland for Food Lovers introduces readers to the many producers, farmers markets, food shops and places to eat, stay (and cook) that make up Ireland’s food culture – and gives a wide range of favourite recipes showcasing Irish produce that are practical to cook, beautiful to look at and delicious to eat.

While not intended as a guide in the usual sense (it was published in 2010), Ireland For Food Lovers still has much to offer anyone with an interest in Irish food culture.
