Great news: “Irish Food History, A Companion” edited by @Irish_Cookbooks & Máirtín Mac Con Iomaire has just won Food & Drink Book of the Year @ the Irish Book Awards tonight. Full disclosure- I was one of the 25 contributors to the book.
@rachellaudan@Ballymaloe Yes, Irish-Franco would have been better, but it was actually Irish. The problem is that Egon Ronay, while originally Hungarian but became a British citizen in 1951, was writing for a British readership. This audience wouldn’t have thought “Irish cooking” possible beyond potatoes
Interesting that the Guide classified the food @Ballymaloe in 1967 as "Franco-Irish cooking" rather than Irish cooking which was Myrtle Allen was all about....
Yes, that was a wonderful evening! The online book has 28 chapters, and I'm very honoured to be one of the contributors. My one is called "Eating Abroad, Remembering Home: Food parcels, 1845–1960"

Got this yesterday - a very enjoyable read and informative too. Funny thing, Ali verbalises what every Irish person knows innately, but we don't realise that we know it until we see it in print. Love it. Get it.
Really looking forward to this....Spoiler alert: I'll be presenting a paper titled "Collecting Ireland’s food memories as a resource for food tourism".
This time two weeks from now, Day One of the Symposium @WeAreTUDublin will be winding up and we'll be off to a launch "Irish Food History: A Companion" supported by @WicklowNatural1 and @PowerscourtDist Explore the provisional programme here for more:https://t.co/jJEabAyKmO

As a supporter of @CuanGreene ‘s Ómós Digest on Substack, I had the opportunity of attending a master class on knife sharpening by Filip Viskovic @indigoandcloth where he is also barista. Not only that, but Filip has taken some of my favourites to work on them. 🥳 Thank you all
