The United Nations of Cookies

"It is impossible to underestimate the impact that Jess Murphy of Galway's Kai and Eoin Cluskey of Bread 41 have had on contemporary Irish food. Yes, they are both commercial organisations, but commerce is actually beside the point: they don't exist just to make money. Consider this: in a world where every food person wants to write a book, Jess and Eoin have handed over the authorship of their first book, Cookies, to a multitude of diverse people from around the world, people who either by necessity or by choice live and work in Ireland. The names of Jess and Eoin are on the cover, but the content is curated from the work of many others, a collation of adorable recipes for cookies, culled from all over the globe which they have gathered and tested to create a glorious wealth of sweetness that you'll want to cook each and every version. In a time where selfishness threatens to drown our shared humanity, Jess and Eoin's act of selflessness - their generosity - falls from the heavens like mercy itself." - John and Sally McKenna, McKennas' Guides
