The Happy Pear

Healthy, Easy, Delicious Food to Change Your Life

Summary

THE IRISH NO.1 BESTSELLING COOKBOOK! DELICIOUS PLANT-BASED, RECIPES LOVED BY VEGETARIAN AND MEAT-EATERS ALIKE!

'These lovely boys always create incredibly tasty food' Jamie Oliver

Let's face it: while we want to eat more fruit and veg, we sometimes fall short because we're not sure how to turn all that great produce into delicious meals.

Welcome to the Happy Pear way of eating - healthy but never worthy, easy but never dull, and packed with mind-blowing flavour. The Happy Pear opened ten years ago when twins David and Stephen Flynn, passionate about starting a food revolution in their hometown, took over their local fruit and veg shop and opened acafé that would become a huge success.

Their first cookbook is full of irresistible plant-based recipes including:

- Everyday breakfasts like their happy heart pancakes or mega muesli
- Lunches and dinners such as a mouth-watering avocado and tomato toastie or Mexican leek and black bean chilli
- Scrumptious yet wholesome sweet treats including a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake

David and Stephen also tell their story (how they transformed from jocks to hippies before finally finding their groove) and share their top tips for maximizing taste and goodness in food in your own home.

About the authors

David Flynn

Nearly twenty years ago David and Stephen Flynn, a.k.a the Happy Pear twins, discovered the joys and benefits of a plant-based diet and embarked on a mission to encourage everyone to 'eat more veg'. Now, with fans like Russell Brand, Joe Wicks, Rangan Chatterjee and Fearne Cotton, sales of over a quarter of a million copies of their four cookbooks, a social audience of nearly one million, bestselling vegan products throughout Ireland and the UK, and their original Happy Pear cafés still thriving in Ireland, David and Stephen Flynn's vision goes from strength to strength. Their most recent book, The Happy Health Plan, came out in December.
