Description
The must-have bestseller from the Happy Pear twins!
'These lovely boys always create incredibly tasty food' Jamie Oliver
Let's face it: while we want to eat more fruit and veg and things we know are good for us, we sometimes fall short because we're not sure how to turn all that great produce into great food.
Well, welcome to the Happy Pear way of eating - healthy but never worthy, easy but never dull, and packed with mind-blowing flavour, exciting texture and vibrant colour.
The Happy Pear opened when David and Stephen Flynn, passionate about starting a food revolution in their home town, took over their local fruit and veg shop and later opened a cafe. Their revolution has not only succeeded, but it is spreading, and The Happy Pear's fans range from young parents to pensioners, ladies-who-lunch to teens-on-the-run, hipsters to Hollywood stars.
David and Stephen's first cookbook is full of irresistible recipes for everything from everyday breakfasts, lunches and dinners, to scrumptious - and yes, still wholesome! - cakes and sweet treats, to special occasion splurges. David and Stephen also tell their story (how they transformed from jocks to hippies before finally finding their groove), share their top tips for maximizing taste and goodness in food, and explain how they've succeeded in building a food business based on flavour, health and community.

Nearly twenty years ago David and Stephen Flynn, a.k.a the Happy Pear twins, discovered the joys and benefits of a plant-based diet and embarked on a mission to encourage everyone to 'eat more veg'. Now, with fans like Russell Brand, Joe Wicks, Rangan Chatterjee and Fearne Cotton, sales of over a quarter of a million copies of their four cookbooks, a social audience of nearly one million, bestselling vegan products throughout Ireland and the UK, and their original Happy Pear cafes still thriving in Ireland, David and Stephen Flynn's vision goes from strength to strength. Their most recent book, The Happy Health Plan, came out in December.
