Blasta Books
Blasta (blastə) adj from the Irish language, means delicious or tasty. Blasta Books are to cookbooks what street food is to restaurants: a fun, accessible way to eat exciting food.
Hardcover, small format, and illustrated by Dublin artist Nicky Hooper, each volume is a standalone 72-page A5 cookbook. As a collectible series, they provide an inclusive snapshot of Ireland’s modern and diverse food culture, from tacos to tapas, spice bags to sushi. They are little books, with big voices.
Our Story
Clare Grennan and Laura Caffrey established Irish Design Shop in 2008. A love of Irish craft and good design led these two jewellers to set up a retail space which offered customers both. Irish craft was witnessing a revival at this time, with a new breed of Irish designer/maker producing exciting, design-led products which embraced traditional and new techniques.
