What a fantastic idea! A nod to Eoin Purcell at Our Grannies’ Recipes, who is beavering away on an edited version of Maura Laverty’s Full and Plenty. We hope it shares the same success as Our Grannies’ Recipes and look forward to our own copy, complete with dog-ears through overuse! In his own words:

Classic Irish Cooking
In October this year, Mercier is publishing an edited volume of Recipes from Full & Plenty, a classic of Irish cooking written back in the late 1950s by Maura Laverty. I still have a copy of the original on loan on my shelf and I’m sure lots of other Irish families have at least one copy of the original or the later Anvil Press editions somewhere in their kitchens. Our book will be called Full & Plenty: Classic Irish Cooking.

Meanwhile here’s where you can get a copy of Our Grannies’ Recipes itself.
