Proudly Irish and family-run since 1989 Proudly Irish and family-run since 1989
A celebration of coastal Northern Irish food, with recipes, stunning images and stories to inspire people to reconnect with the land and the seasons.

From Ciara Ó hArtghaile, co-owner of Ursa Minor Bakehouse, comes a journey of encouragement through the Celtic seasons; a mixture of memoir, nature writing, recipes and food; a contemporary and original story-cookbook.

This is a book with food at its core, but it is firmly rooted in the turning Celtic wheel and Ciara's home on Ireland's beautiful North Coast. From a childhood of growing vegetables, foraging adventures, family gatherings and home cooked meals, her deep love of food and people is shaped by community, nostalgia and an endless fascination with the landscape. She is led by the seasons, consciously cooking in tandem with what nature provides and aware that her mood and food are shaped by the nuances of change within the weeks and months of our ever-revolving year.

Recipes are lyrically woven together with contemplative stories, prose, stunning imagery and sketches that take you through the Celtic year and its festivals. From pints and music in the pub to out-in-the-wild suppers, from nature observations to garden-pickings suppers and fridge-raid dinners, this book will be inextricably linked to the land and a celebration of being together on this big rock we call home
