A Cooking Book with a twist, this book takes the reader on a history journey through the old Temple Bar district, right through to the present-day attractions of one of the busiest areas in Dublin City.

Along the expedition, the reader will experience ‘The History of Irish Food’, which will provide the reader with insight into what shaped our traditional fares. You will learn how, in recent years, the Shack team twisted and moulded old traditional dishes while keeping true Irish heritage.

The reader will also learn of my voyage into food, how I now proudly own The Shack Restaurant, which opened almost 30 years ago, and how privileged we have been to serve over 2.5 million guests worldwide over those years. It is an Honour and a Privilege.

“Cooking with the Shack Restaurant: Traditional, Classic, and Modern Irish Recipes and A History of Irish Food” is a captivating culinary journey authored by David Paul Ellis, the owner and operator of The Shack Restaurant. Located next door to the famous Temple Bar Pub in Dublin, The Shack Restaurant has served over 2 million guests in the past 26 years. This cookery book features a delightful blend of traditional, classic, and modern recipes from the restaurant’s menu and specials board.

But there’s more to this book than just recipes. Ellis takes readers on a fascinating historical exploration. First, we delve into the Irish Famine of 1845, which significantly influenced the country’s staple diet. Then, we traverse the ages, examining the Temple Bar district in Dublin from its past to its bustling present as one of the city’s busiest tourist and cultural areas. And no culinary journey would be complete without the personal touch of the author’s own food experiences and cooking insights.

“The culinary masterpiece, Cooking with the Shack Restaurant, was authored by David Ellis. In collaboration with his close friend Paul Lewis, they meticulously conducted cooking trials for each dish, ensuring both authenticity and correctness. From preparation to taste-testing, every recipe in this book has been lovingly crafted to perfection.”

The photoshoot took place with the David, Paul, and photographer Anna Nowakowska from Matchbox Photography. Despite the hard work involved, it was an enjoyable experience, and Anna’s vibrant personality made it even more fun.
