There is something about reading vegetarian cookbooks that are not from the US that I like. The food perspective is different. And it's not just because the recipes are written in ml, kg or degrees Celsius. (the book does provide a bookmark that allows for translations for those of us who are not metric minded)
Now, I love all things Irish and from Ireland, and when I read the article about where to go in Ireland for the vegetarianly minded - Cornucopia showed up. Their website was included. So I clicked...

After being impressed with website and how they presented the restaurant, I had to buy the cookbook.
Their perspective may have been based from the hippie/granola roots that imposes the stereotype we're unfortunately stuck with, but they are not afraid to get upscale. Their recipes are whole foods (not the grocers) based and their recipes appear very user friendly. The folks at Cornucopia get creative and inventive. One recipe in the book that intrigues me is a vegetarian take on beef wellington. While the puff pastry crust is in tact, the tenderloin and liver pate give way to more appetizing ingredients.
The recipes also are gluten free friendly as well.

I was lucky enough to visit this restaurant in Dublin earlier this year and was a huge fan of their vegetarian food and ethos. The book does not disappoint and is relevant now just as it was when first published. Highly recommended.
