Here’s a message I got from the Limerick School Project.  Go out and buy the book, why don’t you?  It’s a great idea and it looks damn good.

Buy a copy for Bishop Murray.  He’ll soon have time on his hands to try out new things, like cooking for himself.

The Limerick School Project, National School has launched a new cook book ‘Around the World in 80 Recipes’ at the school’s annual Winter Fair which took place on Sunday 13th December. The book is a collection of tried and tested, much loved family recipes written and illustrated by the children of the Limerick School Project and their families.

Way back in 1986, the concept of a “multi-denominational, child-centered, co-educational and democratically run” school was set in motion when a group of foresighted parents met in Cruise’s Hotel and the Limerick School Project came into existence in 1989. Now well established in O’Connell Avenue, during the 2009-2010 school year we are celebrating 20 years of LSP.

This book, as part of these celebrations, is much more than a collection of delicious recipes: it is a reflection of how culturally inclusive the Limerick School Project really is with the 80 recipes reflecting over 20 different nationalities attending the school.

The initiative is also part of the fundraising efforts of parents to enhance facilities and resources within the school for their children.

It is a book about sharing and there’s a great sense of fun behind many of the stories and illustrations connected with the recipes. So let your taste buds travel the globe by making and sampling some of the wonderful recipes in this book.

Around the World in 80 Recipes will be available from the Limerick School Project and a number of retail outlets in Limerick City including O’Mahony’s Bookshop, Eats of Eden, Bobby Byrne’s store(O’Connell Ave.), The Edge and the Organic Store at The Limerick Milk Market.
