‘This is a lovely, amusing collection of pieces on all aspects of food and drink.’ Gay Byrne ‘The guy really can write. And he knows his stuff.’ Food & Wine‘Please take Tom Doorley off our screens’ Brendan O’Connor, Sunday Independent Liberties Press is delighted to announce the publication of Eating for Ireland by Tom Doorley, a nostalgic exploration of iconic Irish (and international) food brands and food culture. Taking a look at how we eat and how we used to eat throughout the years, Eating for Ireland is a must-read, and an ideal Christmas present, for any food-lover and for anyone who has an interest in Ireland’s food culture. Eating for Ireland features a foreword from the legendary Gay Byrne, and will be launched in November.About the Book: In a more personal vein, he writes about his Auntie May, his love of blackberries and other wild foods and the importance of the Aga. From the joys of cold curry to the importance – or not – of table manners, Why is lemonade red? How do they get the figs in Jacob’s Fig Rolls? And why do some people like Marmite? These and other mysteries are tackled in Eating for Ireland, a collection of short pieces on the weird and wonderful world of food in Ireland. From much-loved sweet treats like Arctic Rolls, Bird’s Custard and the ‘99’ to the enduring attractions of bacon and cabbage, processed cheese and Sunday brunch, and from the lamentable state of the country’s sausages and rashers to the joys of a proper picnic, there is plenty here to enjoy. What’s the right way to make spaghetti Bolognese? And is fast food an acceptable guilty pleasure or just plain wrong? In Eating for Ireland, Tom Doorley gets stuck into all these subjects and more – in his inimitable light-hearted yet authoritative style. Eating for Ireland has it all. Whether you enjoy it in small helpings or in a single gluttonous feast, this book is a wonderfully entertaining collection by one of Ireland’s best-loved food writers.About the Author: Tom Doorley is Ireland’s best-known restaurant critic and food writer. Once the PR man for Durex in Ireland, and a newsreader on pirate radio, he now writes a popular restaurant review column for the Irish Daily Mail and is one of the judges on RTÉ’s long-running TV series The Restaurant.
