No Fuss Vegan

Everyday Food for Everyone

David Flynn

Stephen Flynn

If you have decided you want to be vegan, where do you start? Or if you are an experienced cook, how do you make plant-based meals that are delicious and full of variety? And if you are already vegan, but looking for inspiration, are there simple principles to help you come up with your own dishes? 
 
The Happy Pear: Vegan Cooking for Everyone is the answer to your questions. David and Stephen Flynn understand that the idea of vegan cooking can be daunting. But after twenty years of plant-based cooking, they have developed an encyclopaedic knowledge of how it works and how to make it simple, creative and totally irresistible. 
 
Dave and Steve's new book distils all their knowledge into ten chapters that are full of master recipes, step-by-step guides, fun variations and top tips, and an approach to plant-based eating that will inspire you to become the best cook of vegan food you can possibly be.

The Happy Pear: Vegan Cooking for Everyone

Over 200 Delicious Recipes That Anyone Can Make

Tommy Tiernan

In nearly three decades as a performer, Tommy Tiernan has never wanted to play it safe. So, when it came to doing a chat show, he threw out the rule book: going in blind, not knowing who would turn up. It could be a global star, like Adam Clayton, or a statesman like Michael D Higgins, or someone unknown to Tommy (and most of his audience), like autism awareness activist, Ciara-Beth Ní Ghríofa or geneticist Aoife McLysaght. It's high-wire stuff and makes for electrifying viewing. Winging It brings together twenty-one extraordinary interviews from The Tommy Tiernan Show - a mix of the profound, the profane, the funny and the moving. 
 
Tommy's belief in honest conversation is at the heart of Winging It. Whether getting to grips with the finer points of boxing with World Champion Kellie Harrington or preserving history with archivist Catriona Crowe. Or talking God with old friend Michael Harding or mental health with Blindboy Boatclub. Or sitting with moments of pain in conversations about grief (Bob Geldof), FGM (Ifrah Ahmed) or drinking (Paul McGrath). It's all about curiosity, bravery and a willingness to listen. 
 
Winging It includes material that did not make the TV screen and the interviews are as gripping to read as they were to watch.

Winging It

Twenty-one extraordinary interviews from The Tommy Tiernan Show

Let's face it: while we want to eat more fruit and veg and things we know are good for us, we sometimes fall short because we're not sure how to turn all that great produce into great food. 
 
Well, welcome to the Happy Pear way of eating - healthy but never worthy, easy but never dull, and packed with mind-blowing flavour, exciting texture and vibrant colour. 
 
The Happy Pear opened ten years ago when twins David and Stephen Flynn, passionate about starting a food revolution in their home town, took over their local fruit and veg shop and later opened a café. Their revolution has not only succeeded, but it is spreading, and the Happy Pear's fans range from young parents to pensioners, ladies-who-lunch to teens-on-the-run, Electric Picnickers to Hollywood stars. 
 
David and Stephen's first cookbook is full of irresistible recipes for everything from everyday breakfasts, lunches and dinners, to scrumptious - and yes, still wholesome! - cakes and sweet treats, to special occasion splurges. David and Stephen also tell their story (how they transformed from jocks to hippies before finally finding their groove), share their top tips for maximizing taste and goodness in food, and explain how they've succeeded in building a food business based on flavour, health and community.

Tosh Lavery

'There is no training course in the world that will set you up for dead bodies.' 
 
During thirty years in the Garda Sub-Aqua Unit Tosh Lavery worked on many murders and most of Ireland's missing persons cases, as well as high profile investigations such as the Whiddy Island disaster and the Mountbatten assassination. 
 
The unit was a perfect fit for a maverick like Tosh. He became obsessed with a job that demanded utter dedication and total fearlessness. But along the way, he battled alcoholism and his marriage ended. 
 
Tosh's story is an uncompromising and revealing look at the macho world of the guards and what it's really like on the inside.
