I wrote my last book Fresh (Hodder) as a means to take back control of life and the food I was eating, and Eat. Live. Go. is a celebration of just that – prioritising eating well, living a balanced lifestyle and taking time to travel and find inspiration from the world are all part of my current food story. These quick and simple recipes, whether rich and indulgent or light and healthy, provide full-on flavour.”

Theodora FitzGibbon’s column in The Irish Times was once essential reading for anyone with an interest in cookery. Infused with wit, a lust for life, and a genuine love of good food, classic recipes like her Christmas Cake and Barm Brack became legendary and were well used in homes in Ireland and abroad for decades.

Now, Ireland’s most exciting young food writer, Donal Skehan, discovers the art of Theodora in this beautiful new collection in which he selects her very best dishes and lovingly brings them to life through his glorious photography.

Life-long fans will be delighted with this replacement for their battered and much-used books (or ancient newspaper clippings), and a new generation of food lovers, just like Donal, will discover the delight of Theodora FitzGibbon for the very first time.

Donal’s personality shines through on every page and he also draws on the knowledge and experience of others.

So Donal turns to his own family and grandparents, plus a range of experts such as butchers, fishmongers and grocers, to offer straightforward advice and inspired recipes.

Divided into 7 chapters, Donal covers everything from everyday suppers, soups, stews and pots, baking and desserts, roasts, healthy dishes and more.
