For our January food episode Dave and Stephen Flynn join Sonia and Jarlath to talk about soup, running and all things plant based. The Happy Pear have created an Irish culinary empire around eating right and making wholesome food fun. Their new book Vegan Cooking For Everyone has ten chapters covering everything you’ve ever wanted to know about vegan food but were afraid to ask, adaptable recipes that will blow your mind and “teach man to fish” ideas that will change how you eat at home. There’s also an extensive questions and answers section with Sonia where Jarlath puts some of our listeners’ questions to the Irish athletics legend. Don’t forget to join our running club on Strava and sign up for this Saturday’s event.    Be kind to yourself and others this January.
