The Pleasures of the Table by Theodora Fitzgibbon

The Pleasures of the Table by Theodora Fitzgibbon

Theodora FitzGibbon’s column in The Irish Times was once essential reading for anyone with an interest in cookery. Infused with wit, a lust for life, and a genuine love of good food, classic recipes like her Christmas Cake and Barm Brack became legendary and were well used in homes in Ireland and abroad for decades. Now, Ireland’s most exciting young food writer, Donal Skehan, discovers the art of Theodora in this beautiful new collection in which he selects her very best dishes and lovingly brings them to life through his glorious photography. Life-long fans will be delighted with this replacement for their battered and much-used books (or ancient newspaper clippings), and a new generation of food lovers, just like Donal, will discover the delight of Theodora FitzGibbon for the very first time. ‘Theodora FitzGibbon ought to be remembered as a giant in Irish culinary circles’ Darina Allen 'Now Donal Skehan has discovered Theodora in this new collection, in which he has brought a selection of her best recipes to life through beautiful photography. Established fans will be delighted with this updated version of their battered cookbooks, and a whole new generation of food lovers will be introduced to the pleasures of Theodora’s table, just like Donal was'.

Fitzgibbon, Theodora: -

Theodora FitzGibbon was born in London and educated in England and France. She was the author of more than thirty books, most of which were about food, and included her encyclopaedic The Food of the Western World, which took her fifteen years to complete and covered some thirty-four countries and thirty-two languages. Probably her best-known book is A Taste of Ireland. Her Saturday column in The Irish Times, which appeared for twenty years and became as legendary as everything else about her, was witty, pithy, filled with extra-curricular food knowledge and as avidly talked about as it was read. She had an unfailing instinct for putting both recipes and sentences together, and knew more than anyone how to be entertaining while doing both. She published two volumes of autobiography, With Love in 1982 and Love Lies a Loss in 1985, which are combined in the new publication A Taste of Love. She died in 1991.
