I could barely contain
my excitement as the postman handed me a parcel with a “New Island” sticker on
the front. Within was my book, that for many months I had greatly anticipated
holding in my hands. I know many of the recipes by heart, I had spent
long hours carefully taking and picking photographs to include, and the content
is all so familiar to me, yet on unwrapping the brown paper before me was
something so new. A shiver went down my spine as I flicked through the
pages, inhaling that distinctive new book smell, seeing for the first time all
my recipes, writing and photos together in book form. It has finally
happened; my book “Apron Strings” is published. The feeling of accomplishment and
excitement is unbelievable. On Thursday evening last we celebrated the book’s launch in
Dún Na Sí, Moate. A wonderful evening with family and friends was
enjoyed. I’d truly like to thank anyone who called by and helped to make the
evening so special. If you do buy the book I hope you enjoy reading and cooking
your way through it.

My eldest boy, Jack, also recorded a short video of the launch. Have a look!
