Praise for Finn’s World - Do What You Love, Love What You Eat
“Finn’s World is full of soul, energy and delicious food – a cookbook that appeals to all generations. It took me a while to realise it was a free from (gluten) cookbook, it’s a book about what’s good not what you can’t eat! It’s grounded in culture, family, Ireland and the energy of the sea. I laughed all the way through reading it – especially at the Trudeau pancakes!”
Sally McKenna
