Extreme Greens: Understanding Seaweeds

Biography

Sally McKenna and her partner John McKenna have spent 30 years traveling, walking, hiking, shopping, eating, drinking and researching in every corner of Ireland’s beautiful island and their book, Ireland the Best is the distillation of their travels.

A companion to the best-selling Scotland the Best, and utilising the same design template, Ireland the Best has one single objective: to enable you to discover the finest things that Ireland has to offer, whether you are seeking an exemplary country pub, a beautiful place to spend the weekend on an island off the coast, an original piece of Irish woodcraft, or the hottest restaurant in Dublin. Ireland the Best gives you the insider’s knowledge and information to maximise every moment spent traveling and having fun in Ireland.

Sally McKenna is also the author of Extreme Greens: Understanding Seaweed, described by BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme as “A new bible for seaweed cookery”. Sally is the administrator behind www.guides.ie, a food resource for Ireland and was the editor and publisher of the critically acclaimed Pizza Defined by Bernadette O’Shea, and Martin’s Fishy Fishy Cookbook, with Martin Shanahan.

For their work on Irish food, John and Sally McKenna have been awarded the André Simon Special Award, the Slow Food Ireland Media Award, the Blas Na hEireann Food Champions Award, and the Restaurant Association’s Mike Butt Award.
