The Humours of Nothingness

Granny has selected her best, most popular, traditional Irish recipes to create the ultimate recipe book. It includes traditional recipes such as soda bread, Irish stew, bacon and cabbage, and the best recipe for scones.

LOCAL invites us into a forgotten corner of contemporary Ireland – Tallaght, on the periphery of Dublin – where Pete Smyth has lived and worked for over thirty years. Smyth’s uniquely intimate account captures the richness and humour of a community at the frontline of Ireland’s rapid modernisation. His approach is deeply affectionate, but without sentimentality, inviting us into private spaces, moments of quiet drama – and some wild nights in his local, the Killinarden House pub.
