Ard Bia Cookbook

Product Description Ard Bia, one of Galway's most enduring restaurants, is about expecting great local food with an unusual twist, the best of Irish produce served with a little exotic magic: seasoning Atlantic scallops with tangy sumac, indulging pomegranate cake with freshly whipped Irish cream, pairing local produce with eclectic influences from the Middle East and beyond. This is a unique and family friendly cookbook with Ard Bia favorites.
