Tastes of Home: A Sanctuary Cookbook presents 90 authentic recipes from 10 countries, including Ireland, each accompanied by personal stories from the women who cook them and detailed cultural context about traditional preparation methods. Discover Ireland's vibrant multicultural community through this groundbreaking cookbook from Saoirse Ethnic Hands, a migrant-women-led social enterprise. Beyond recipes, this beautifully illustrated collection includes sustainable gardening advice for growing culturally significant ingredients in Ireland, developed in collaboration with the International Garden. Fully illustrated and professionally photographed by Emma Jervis, with recipes tested at MTU, the book celebrates food as a bridge between cultures while supporting migrant women's pathways to employment and community engagement. This cookbook is a culinary journey and a meaningful social enterprise initiative, supported by Cork City Council and featuring guidance from food industry advisor Orla McAndrew.
