Going back to basics with Darina Allen's new book

D rawing on over thirty years of growing at Ballymaloe, Darina Allen’s latest book Grow, Cook, Nourish is the ultimate handbook for anybody who wants to start their own kitchen garden. ā€œThis may be the most important book that I have ever written because at this point in time it’s where we are with food,ā€ she says from her base at the world-famous cookery school.

The collection of 500 recipes took Allen two and a half years to write, and is a passion project for the doyenne of Irish food.
