Publishers Text

The Kai Cookbook is the long-awaited collection of 100 of the Galway restaurant’s best-loved dishes, from the legendary Kai fish fingers that they can’t take off the menu to showstopper cakes from the irresistible daily line-up on the bar.

Kai is the Maori word for food, and Jess and Dave Murphy opened the door to their award-winning restaurant in 2011 with a simple formula: high-quality produce, sourced locally and cooked intelligently. What’s in season will be on your plate.

Part cookbook, part love letter to Jess’s adopted home in the West of Ireland, these recipes and recollections, all told in Jess’s distinctive voice, will capture your heart, just like this little restaurant has done to all who have eaten there.
