The 155 page cook book includes a mix of everything, from the nostalgia food of her childhood, to classics with an Irish twist, such as bacon and cabbage risotto, to another popular food trend of fermenting foods. The recipes in the book use affordable and easily accessed ingredients. It contains plenty of current food trends and recipes that demonstrate a healthy use of fat in the diet.
As a mother of two teens, Valerie knows that time spent in the kitchen is unavoidable if you want to nourish yourself and your family – but it needn’t be a chore! Discover how easy and enjoyable it can be to create delicious and nutritious homecooked meals, treats and pantry staples for you and your family.
