Messy by Aoife McElwain

Aoife McElwain is a messy cook who has managed to go from chaos to craic in the kitchen, and that’s what her book, MESSY, will help you do too. With simple recipes interspersed with gentle coaching tools, this book is for anyone who wants to harness the joy of cooking and use food as a tool for a life well lived.

From those times when you can’t cope or need a bit of comfort to ideas for how to cook for a crowd or in the great outdoors, MESSY is a companion cookbook for recovering perfectionists and recuperating people-pleasers whose inner critics tend to follow them into the kitchen. 

Most of all, MESSY is a celebration of creativity and of learning from our mistakes. Messiness can marinate into joy, and Aoife will show you how.
