Soup
Blasta Books
In Blasta Books' small hardback Soup, authors and Spice Bags podcast co-hosts Blanca Valencia, Dee Laffan and Mei Chin take you on a journey around the globe from the comfort of the communities within Ireland. The soups they have collected reflect individual cultures, memories and tastes, but they are also a reflection of Irish food today and the people behind it.
As with other titles within this series from Blasta Books (Wok, Tacos & United Nations of Cookies), each recipe is super easy to follow, accompanied by delightful illustrations by Nicky Hooper, which only add to the enjoyment of this read.
"Soup is a snapshot of who we are today, and what we eat today. It is a mezcla, where Ahmet Dede’s Turkish red lentil soup sits alongside Sasha Shyskina’s recipe for Ukrainian borsch." - John and Sally McKenna, McKenna guides.
Format: Hardcover, 72 pages
