Féasta is a new downloadable charity cookbook created by Ireland’s top foodies.

Some of the country’s top foodies have teamed up, putting their know-how together to create a brand-new downloadable charity cookbook called Féasta.

Described as a home cooking collection of recipes, all proceeds will go to the Mater and Mercy Hospitals.

Packed full with 20 delicious eats, inside you’ll find recipes by the likes of The Little Green Spoon, William Murray and James Kavanagh, The Happy Pear and Bread 41 to name but a few.

Not to mention bestselling cookery author and entrepreneur Roz Purcell, who explains the whole idea in a video posted to her Instagram page.

“If you are looking for a way to help, this is one way that you can do it. Myself and lots of other Irish foodies have come together and made a downloadable cookbook.

All money raised from the cookbook goes towards the Mater and Mercy Hospitals to their non-restrictive funds.”

Which basically means that the money will go wherever it is needed over the coming months. Only live a matter of hours, the fundraiser has already amassed over €9,000 in donations – a testament to people’s generosity and eagerness to help.

Hello friends! How ye all holding up? I know a lot of you have taken to baking and cooking so I have the perfect way you can get new recipes and support our heroes! Myself and other Irish foodies have put together a downloadable PDF called ”FÉASTA” that has over 20 recipes we think you'll enjoy cooking with your loved ones it also includes a pantry list and tips on how you can make your food go the extra mile ??? The pdf costs €5 so hopefully you can all get involved ?? and all monies raised goes to the Mater & Mercy hospitals to a non restrictive fund. Over the next few months these hospitals will feel the pressure of COVID19 this money will go where it is needed; maybe that's towards this fight or to help other patients with serious illnesses such as cancer, stroke or community service for elderly patience. Money will be allocated where they need it most to continue care to all who need it! To the hospital workers who spend their lives putting others before themselves THANK YOU.❤️❤️❤️ Cover illustrated by @aoife_dooley Contributors: @donalskehan @jamesalankavanagh @williamurrayart @sarahkimw @saltwaterstories.me @daveynutrition @susanjanekitchen @jrryall @thelittlegreenspoon @trishas.transformation @thehappypear @bread41dublin @thefatfoxofficial

With most of the country cooped up at home, cooking and baking have become somewhat of an escape for many people. However, meal inspiration is bound to run out at some point and this will come in very handy when it does.

To purchase, just donate €5, send your donation confirmation to [email protected] and your PDF will be emailed out to you within 24hours.
