Taste of Dublin unveils limited edition cookbook to raise money for charity
Taste of Dublin bosses have revealed a star-studded recipe book ahead of this year's food festival in a bid to raise money for a homeless charity.
The food festival is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the launch of a specially curated cookbook Taste of Dublin: The Recipes with signature dishes from some of Ireland's favourite chefs; including Donal Skehan, Derry Clarke, Nevin Maguire, Rachel and Darina Allen and Mark Moriarty.
A percentage of the proceeds from each sale of this limited-edition cookbook will go directly to the Dublin Simon Community.
Taste of Dublin: The Recipes is a special collection of 20 former festival demo dishes that reflect the Irish contemporary food scene and its evolution over the past two decades.
Jo Mathews, Taste of Dublin, CEO, Equinox Events, said: "We are delighted to be launching our 20th anniversary programme of celebrations with this unique cookbook.
"It has been a thoroughly enjoyable labour of love to produce, and I want to sincerely thank all those who kindly contributed their time and immense talent to create this exceptional collection of recipes.
"The cookbook is complemented by mouth-watering photography as well as insightful anecdotes from our stellar line-up of chefs, some of whom have been with us at the festival from year one.
"We are proud to be partnering with Dublin Simon Community with a portion of each book sale going towards their vital work.
"We look forward to the festival in June and celebrating this milestone occasion with all involved."
Emma Kilkenny, Director of Fundraising and Communications at Dublin Simon Community, added: "The funds raised from the book will help us provide vital housing and healthcare services for people experiencing homelessness.
"Every year, we offer over 300,000 meals to people living in our services, providing nourishment and a sense of community."
