Description
Butter Boy is the complete collection of all 152 articles and over 450 recipes from Paul Flynn's tenure as food writer for the Irish Times from November 2019 to October 2022. Paul's columns also chronicled what turned out to be the three most unusual and challenging years of our lives, when cooking and mealtimes took on new meaning.
Having a cookery school has taught Paul that most people want tasty food that doesn't take hours to make, so that's exactly what these recipes are, using simple techniques that even the most novice cook can master. As Paul says, 'The most important thing is not to be afraid. Turn down the heat and keep calm.'
Paul's food is simple, seasonal and family-oriented. It's designed to give comfort at any time of year because after a hard day, cooking dinner can be soothing and eating it can be comforting. Afterwards the world feels just that little bit better.
Warm, witty and laugh-out-loud funny, reading and cooking from Butter Boy is like spending time in the kitchen with an old friend.
