Irish publishers Liberties Press is thrilled to announce that its
title “AROUND IRELAND WITH A PAN – Food, tales and recipes”,
by Éamonn Ó Catháin has been chosen as BEST
LOCAL CUISINE cookbook in English in the prestigious Gourmand World
Cookbook Awards. The Gourmand Awards, now in their tenth year, are

huge international interest. More than four thousand books from
sixty countries were submitted in 2003. The awards will be presented
at a gala dinner in Sweden in February, with each book further competing
against titles in all other languages. Previous Irish winners include
the “Paradiso Seasons” book by Denis Cotter and Barbara
Boyle’s A&A Farmar's Wine Guide for 2001.
The Gourmand International Jury is made up of Jean Jacques Ratier,
Mayor of Sorges, capital of the truffles of Perigord, Dun Gifford,
President of Oldways, a non profit foundation (USA), Prince Franz-Wilhelm
of Prussia, from Germany, Edouard Cointreau, publisher of ICR-The
International Cookbook Revue.

Food, Tales and Recipes
Ireland is becoming increasingly well- known around the world for
its vibrant food scene, from superb seafood to wonderful organic
meats, fruit and vegetables, and craft-produced cheeses and beers.
In Around Ireland with a Pan: Food, Tales and Recipes, Éamonn
Ó Catháin discusses the traditional food cultures
of all the counties of Ireland, North and South. He looks at how
tastes - and standards - in food have changed over the years and
gives his impressions of some of the outstanding restaurants, food
markets and food shops to be found on this island. He also reflects
on his own love of food and on his experiences of running restaurants,
and speculates on what the future holds for Irish food.
