Absolutely loving this beautiful collection of cookbooks from Blasta Books, celebrating the diversity of food in and around Ireland. - Jamie Oliver These small, gorgeous, single-subject cookbooks…are fantastic. And, clearly, deeply aesthetically pleasing. They’re so beautifully designed and illustrated. I really love the whole enterprise. - India Knight This cookbook series from Blasta Books is just brilliant. Pithy, opinionated, learned, well-written and beautifully designed. Loved every single one. - Tom Parker Bowles
