The Real Food cookbook is a fantastically inventive idea. Written by the people of Moneystown, it contains favourite recipes from local people. Some of these recipes have been handed down from generation to generation.

The idea for the book came about as part of a fundraising drive for the national school building fund in the area. The Parents Committee designed, produced and published the book which is a great credit to all involved.

The first print run sold out in about a month and the book is now on its second print run. It is available in Bridge Street Books, Wicklow Town, the Village Bookshop in Greystones, Avoca Handweavers, The Inkwell in Arklow, McCoys in Laragh and other shops in Roundwood, Ashford, Rathdrum and Bray.

Also available online at www.moneystowncookbook.com at €10 plus €2.50 postage and packing.
