While enjoying a peaceful moment in the park one day, Orla McAndrew’s culinary journey took a serendipitous turn when she met a complete stranger who mentioned she was getting married in six weeks and was struggling to find a caterer. In that moment, Orla knew she had been presented with the opportunity of a lifetime. Six weeks later, Orla and a team of friends and colleagues catered for 130 people who are still talking about the food they experienced that day. Orla McAndrew’s story is one of inspiration and transformation. It’s a tale of a woman who, at the crossroads of her life, discovered her true calling and found the fulfilment she had always yearned for. Today, as Ireland’s first zero-waste wedding caterer, she continues to create unforgettable dining experiences, driven by her unwavering passion and the belief that exceptional cuisine has the power to touch hearts and create lasting memories.

Absolutely loving this beautiful collection of cookbooks from Blasta Books, celebrating the diversity of food in and around Ireland. - Jamie Oliver These small, gorgeous, single-subject cookbooks…are fantastic. And, clearly, deeply aesthetically pleasing. They’re so beautifully designed and illustrated. I really love the whole enterprise. - India Knight This cookbook series from Blasta Books is just brilliant. Pithy, opinionated, learned, well-written and beautifully designed. Loved every single one. - Tom Parker Bowles
