Cookery Books For Free
As regular readers will know, I’m going through a bit of a declutter at the moment. I’m trying to make space for other things in the house and I have a considerable list of books that I’m willing to give away, providing you can cover the cost of the postage! When I mentioned last night on my Facebook Page that I may have some books to give away I never expected to get such a big response!
Due to the huge demand, I’m listing the books below for everybody to get a chance to have a good read through and see if they’re interested in anything. I will bundle books together but no more than 3 books to any one person. I can only post to ROI I’m afraid.
I will take reservations by comment on the blog below this text. It’s a simple case of first come, first served & don’t worry I have a record of the time comments are made.
Postage will be €4 for 1 book, €7 for 2 books & if you want 3 books it will be €10. Bear in mind that I have to walk up and down to the post office so you’ll receive your books within the next fortnight as there’s no way I can post them all at once! I’ll only accept payment via PayPal as it’s the fairest way to ensure that we’re all protected, please use your email address when commenting so I can send you the details of how to pay.
I did have more than the books on this list, however I was approached by Ballymakenny College in Drogheda who are looking to stock the shelves in their new school. I’ve reserved some books from my collection for them and if you’re in the area you might be able to add to their shelves too.
Here’s my book list:
Marks & Spencer: Girls Night InJamie Oliver: Save With JamieEdward Hayden: Food For Friends- Antonio Carluccio: Music And Menus From Italy (Vintage)
Martin & Paul’s: Surf ’n’ Turf- Marian Keyes: Saved By Cake
Val O’Connor: Bread On The TableHairy Bikers: Mums Still Know BestDelia Smith: How To Cheat At Cooking (Vintage)- Carton House: Bringing The Taste Home
- Rozanne Stevens: Del-ish
James Martin: My Kitchen- Maria Constantino: The Cocktail Handbook
Gary Rhodes: Cookery Year – Autumn Into Winter- The Kerrygold Cookbook
Galton Blackiston: SummertimeGordon Ramsay – Cooking For FriendsJason Atheron – Gourmet Food For A Fiver- Margaret Briggs – Chocolate
Joanna Farrow: Four Ingredient Cookbook (Vintage)Derry Clarke: Keeping It SimpleTom Kitchin: Kitchin SuppersBonne Maman: The Seasonal Cookbook (Vintage)- Sandy O’Byrne and Jacinta Delahaye: Wining and Dining At Home In Ireland (Vintage)
Silvana Franco: Simple Ways To SuccessAvoca Cafe: Cookbook 2Marks & Spencer: Pasta
To recap. In order to reserve you need to comment below, make sure to leave your email address so that I can contact you directly to arrange payment and to get your address details. You might find it handy to quote the number of the book that you want (see the list above). Maximum of 3 books per person.
I may have more books in the next fortnight so keep your eyes on the blog!

Hi Caitriona, can I have book number 11 please.
thing411
Hi Caitriona,
What a great idea!!
Doubt there’re are any books left by now unless you have more than one copy of each….. if yes then can I request nbr. 11 (which I note has been requested by the person before me) or the (vintage) Wining & Dining at home in Ireland.
Kind regards,
Ann
