having eaten at several Avoca Cafes throughout Ireland, I can testify to the creative, delicious and beautiful food available there. this cookbook is a joy to read and contains recipes for some of the great food I sampled there.

So far, I have tried only a couple of the breads, and the scones... they have turned out perfectly, and I can't wait to get started on the soups & other recipes. It's not your run of the mill cookbook, and that's what I adore about it. The bread recipes may call for a bit less liquid than stated in the book (which gives you a range anyway)... I'd recommend not putting all the liquid ingredients in at once.

I had pastries and coffee at the store in Moll's Gap, which is a beautifully merchandised store, in addition to having a delicious cafe. All the foods displayed in the cases were so tantalizing I bought both of their books so I could prepare them when I returned home. The recipes are easy to follow and absolutely delicious. They are interesting enough to challenge you, but not difficult, and must be well tested as all my attempts have been successful. My husband is not a big vegetable fan, but he loves the dishes I have made from these books. They smell fantastic and have a lot of eye appeal.

Love this cookbook, I ate in an Avoca Cafe at Powerscourt and just loved it, had to have the book.

I just got back from Ireland and had eaten at the Avoca Cafe. Everything ordered was in the cookbook and is super easy to make. I'm so happy I found this book.
