Ard Bia Cookbook

We went to Ard Bia in Galway at the recommendation of a foodie friend who had lived there several years. The restaurantt became our favorite restaurant in Galway and we dined there several times. The quality and creativity is wonderful. I enjoy creating recipes out of the cookbook to enjoy excellent Irish food. The Seafood Chowder and Brown Soda Bread is excellent.

We bought this after visiting Galway, Ireland and having two beautiful lunches with our daughter at Ard Bia. How exciting to try making the Celeriac Soup and the Brown Soda Bread. The recipes are mostly in metric. Ingredients are clean, simple and delightful, which pretty much is Ireland in a nutshell. This book will harken you into a warm, kitchen mood, and if you're ever in Galway, be certain to put this little cafe on your list. We ordered the cook book from Amazon when we got home, as it's a hefty one to be packing on a journey. We were completely taken away with Irish food, their pristine cream and butter and the friendliness of every person we met. With the river just outside the window and the warm, wooden floors, it felt like we were on an Irish ship with the best food we could imagine. Galway is a 2.5 hour train ride through the green Irish countryside from Dublin. Thank you, Ard Bia!

A great cookbook for Tasty, hearty, wholesome home cooking. From one of the top restaurants in Ireland. Easy to follow. Delicious pictures. A joy to read. Worth its price, since you get so many tasty Irish recipes. The ingredients are easy to assemble, and it is not hard to make flavorful meals, that your family will enjoy. Five Start rating. (And I am a foodie... LOL). It does for Irish home cooking what Julia Childe did for French...!

Beautiful cookbook. I have spent a lot of time flipping through the pages and believe it is very clear and thoughtful. I am very selective about the cookbooks I purchase, and this is one of about 5 that I have thought worthy to buy in the last few years.

Gorgeously put together. I had the joy of dining in this restaurant and this book is the perfect little gift to myself to preserve the memory.

While I like this book with all the hype surrounding it I think I was expecting more from it

The book is great but it looked more beat-up than I expected from the ad. Still, the recipes work! Try my fave, the soda bread.

Picked this up in Galway but wanted additional copies that I didn't need to lug around Europre

We had a very good lunch at Ard Bia a while ago, and now I've bought the cookbook. It looks really good so far. More recipes than I thought. Recommended.

A truly wonderful and inspiring cookbook. I bought it after discovering the place on a website and thought why not. It is expensive but the book is big and full of beautiful recipes from happy go lucky home cooking. To upmarket dinner party food.Highly recommended reading for any foodie or serious cook.

While visiting Galway we happened on this restaurant. The food was just wonderful. When I saw the cookbook I had to buy it as a gift for my daughter. The pictures are beautiful and the recipes cover a nice range of their dishes. The sauces alone are so good.

the book is great, very helpful ideas, great recipes... a new take on some favourites... i ordered 2 copies on the days, one was brand new as requested, the other was not which was very disappointing...

perfect
