The Irish Market Cookbook

The Irish Market Cookbook is not just a collection of recipes; it’s a unique account of the vibrant food markets of Ireland. In this his second cookbook, Sean Monaghan gives witness to the rich, diverse flavours available in Irish food markets. Inspired by the produce from the wonderful markets of Cork, Galway, Sligo, and Limerick, these unique recipes from a passionate local food advocate celebrate not only the excellent seasonal produce available but also the passionate people producing it. This is clearly not a book about traditional Irish cooking. From the start, Monaghan introduces us to Japanese-inspired dishes that make the most of Ireland’s abundant seaweed and innovative uses of locally grown exotic mushrooms. The recipes in The Irish Market Cookbook are a testament to Ireland’s evolving palate. Influenced heavily by the ethos of culinary giants of East Cork like Darina Allen and Kevin Aherne, this cookbook is a tribute to the food champions across Ireland. It’s a call to embrace the local, fresh, and unusual food products available at Irish Markets and to support your local butcher, baker, fishmonger and farmer. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or a curious foodie, The Irish Market Cookbook will inspire you to go out and experience what Irish food markets throughout the Island of Ireland have to offer.
