Meeting food author Móna Wise: A nourishing experience
No more than when driving, in the book world you should always expect the unexpected. Coming back to work from the Bank Holiday weekend, I discovered sitting on my desk, as though it owned the joint, a big white jiffy bag which contained a smaller bag of American type biscuits and a cookery book. Now new cookery books are not a genre I normally give a lot of time to, but bribery and corruption will always work in this neck of the woods, so I gave it a lot more attention than I would have normally. Then I emailed the author Móna Wise.
Getting in touch with Móna Wise is a bit like taking your life in your own hands. Within minutes she was on the phone and within hours, she was walking in the door, albeit with another bag of biscuits – boy does she know how to twist the proverbial arm – and a smile that would light up the darkest hour. Game, set, and match! By then it was also obvious that The Chef & I was so much more than a cookery book, and that the recipes were something of an afterthought.
Off the Ball in the Dail
The Off the Ball sports show will broadcast live in front of a packed audience this Thursday in Galway’s Dail Bar, Middle Street.
Presenter Eoin McDevitt will talk to former World Cup heroes Tommy Coyne and Alan McGloughlin, and also in attendance will be former Ireland rugby coach Eddie O’Sullivan and Connacht captain Gavin Duffy.
