Food Culture Chats – Cook the Books

Midleton Park Hotel, Old Cork Road, Midleton, CO, Ireland
7 September

A panel of food writers from Cork and beyond talk about new books they have launched. Together we will talk about what it takes to write a cookery book; the changing face of book publishing in Ireland; books that reflect a modern multicultural Ireland, and cookbooks for children.

Caitlin Ruth (Cork) and Sham Hanifa (Carrick On Shannon) are two of this years’ hugely popular Blasta Booksauthors. Ruth released Funky earlier this year all about the world of funky pickles, and Hanifa launched Agak Agak in summer all about the food of his Malaysian heritage and family.
Caroline Hennessy (Cork) is an award-winning food writer, journalist, and broadcaster and the author of two books all about beer and food, Slainte (the complete guide to Irish craft beer and cider) and The Official Guinness Cookbook.
Dr Michelle Darmody (Cork and Dublin) is an award-winning food writer, journalist, and educator with a weekly column in the Irish Examiner. Her second book, From Seed to Supper, is a book about food for children to learn about how food is grown, the food system, making good food choices, how to grow and then cook with it, too. The book is groundbreaking in its approach encouraging children to feel empowered in their food choices.

There will be no samples provided by the panellists for this session, but we will need a table set up near the speakers area where books can be displayed. Authors will be on hand to do a book signing and sale before and after the panel.
