Dylan McGrath is one of Ireland’s best-known chefs and the youngest Irish Michelin chef. He is the proprietor of several well-known Dublin restaurants, a brother and a dad.

Dylan was a judge on MasterChef Ireland and has his own popular TV Show Dylan McGrath’s Secret Service, which taught individuals from marginalised backgrounds kitchen skills and was described by theIrish Times as ‘a show [that comes] from a place of enormous kindness’. His mission to help get Ireland’s dads cooking comes from that same place.

Restaurateur and chef Dylan McGrath has cooked for thousands of people, but becoming a father encouraged him to create a new approach to cooking at home, using solid recipes that are guaranteed to deliver on taste, whatever your skill level.  

In his debut cookbook, Dylan shares the recipes that every man should have up his sleeve and gives a masterclass in the kit and the techniques that will guarantee great results. Beginners will lose the fear of cooking, and confident cooks will be encouraged to take their expertise to the next level.

Packed with big flavours, accessible ingredients, and foolproof recipes, this book serves up mouth-watering home cooking to savour and share – with everything from filling brunches to big grills to signature roasts to every dad’s favourite: the BBQ.

With chapters such as Comforting Curries, Healthy Cooking, Epic Roasts, Simple Suppers, Perfect Pizza, Brunch and Breakfast, this is a must-have cookbook for dads (or for anyone that has a dad) written by a dad. In fact, the recipes are so good you’ll find everyone in the house wants to use it!
