Launch of cookbook in aid of cancer support
A host of famous faces from the worlds of sports, music, politics and the arts have shared their favourite recipes for a new cookbook that will be published tomorrow, Friday, March 6thin aid of cancer support.
‘Food for Thought’ features recipes from renowned authors Colm Tóibín and Jeffrey Archer; sports heroes Tommy Bowe, Shane Lowry and Niall Quinn; actor Pat Shortt; musicians Phil Coulter, Frances Black and Úna Healy; and An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny amongst others.
The ‘cookbook with a difference’ is the brainchild of Tipp-woman Eileen Coffey, who compiled all recipes and published the book to raise funds for the Suir Haven Cancer Support Centre in Thurles. Ms Coffey has a very personal connection to Suir Haven: her late father, Paddy Corbett, was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2012, and Ms Coffey’s family were supported by the Suir Haven Centre in the wake of his death. Sadly, Ms Coffey had lost her mother, Bridie, as a result of a road traffic accident only 10 months prior to losing her father.
Launch Details
‘Food for Thought’ will be launched on Friday by Fionnbar Walsh, father of the late Donal Walsh at the Ursuline Secondary School, Thurles at 7pm.
