A new locally produced cook book by pupils of the Limerick School Project was launched this week.
The book, ‘Around the World in 80 Recipes’, is a collection of “tried and tested, much loved family recipes” written and illustrated by the children of the city center school 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 brains behind the book say the publication is about “sharing and there’s a great sense of fun behind many of the stories and illustrations connected with the recipes.” It was launched at the school’s annual Winter Fair which took place on Sunday 13th December.
The project is just one of a range of fundraising efforts by parents to enhance facilities and resources within the school for their children and all the book sale proceeds go to The Limerick School Project National School.
‘Around the World in 80 Recipes’ is available now 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 on O’Connell Ave, The Edge and the Organic Store at The Limerick Milk Market.
