For Anna Haugh cooking is in her bones and sharing in her nature. A born and bred Dubliner, Anna was raised on her mum’s Irish home cooking. In this, her debut cookbook, she shares 85 recipes that are as straight-forward as they are delicious, such as Braised beef cheeks with sweet potato and basil crush, Dad’s fish pie from Howth, vegan pulled pork and Guinness chocolate cake.
Knowing full well the reality of juggling busy family life with work, Anna includes mouth-watering recipes that are easy to prepare for weeknight dinner without using every pot and pan in the house, such as Mammy's shepherd's pie with forked spuds, baby gem and chicken taco night, lentil bolognaise, coconut cod curry and Anna's Tuesday night stir-fry. And for when you have some time and want to push the boat out, there's a celebration roast, or the duck breast and potato waffle with a mushroom and black garlic puree, or even Aunty Ann's show-stopping carrot cake.
For all their heartiness, the recipes in this book taste incredible and look stunning all because Anna shares her tricks of the trade to level up flavour and bring casual elegance to simple home cooking.
