Books by Denis Cotter

My wife and I came across Denis Cotter by happy accident while cycling through Ireland. Once we got home, we immediately purchased this two (now three) cookbooks. They are a regular source for dinners, especially when we want something fancy.

I was wondering if anyone else has his books and what you think about them.

I'm a big fan - they are beautifully photographed but at the same time, you're not afraid to use the book like I am with the bigger, shinier ones! They're definitely a little on the fancy side, but we discovered that by removing an element or two from a recipe, you still have a lovely and easy dish for tired, mid-week dinners. The other great thing is that they are very in tune with the Irish seasons, which I like because if you are trying to eat local in Ireland in February - well, the more help you can get, the better!!

Glad there's another admirer. I'm still trying to get to his restaurant down in Cork though...did you make it for a meal?
