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 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. "Travelers who have fallen in love with Ard Bia, the little restaurant near the Spanish Arch along the quay in Galway, can now re-create its dishes at home."-The Boston Globe "As much a keepsake as a collection of recipes. Filled with quirky photos and drawings, it honors the beloved restaurant's mission and menu."-Atlanta Journal Constitution
Fabulous! We ate at their restaurant while we were in Ireland. This cookbook evokes the feelings of that wonderful night. Great recipes. I love the use of local ingredients.
Very nice art and photography as well as compelling chapter paragraphs decorate this charming compendium of recipes from Galway. I also loved the heavy emphasis on local foods.
