Cook - Irish Cooking with Modern Twists

Graham Herterich, aka The Cupcake Bloke, has always been fascinated by taking classic Irish recipes and giving them a modern twist. Cook: Traditional Irish Cooking with Modern Twists is structured around the unique way we eat in Ireland, broken up into the five mealtimes of breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea and supper. There is also a chapter dedicated to pork and bacon, inspired by Graham's childhood growing up over the family butcher shop.

Graham flips the script on favourites like bacon and cabbage to turn it into cabbage and bacon, while Irish stew gets reimagined as a lamb tagine. Beloved Irish classics such as the ‘mammy salad’, a chicken fillet roll and our classic combo of lasagne, coleslaw and chips all feature alongside modern versions updated with the flavours and ingredients available to us now. Nostalgic food styling and photography feature throughout this gorgeous book which is the perfect follow up to Graham's first book Bake.
