The Virtuous Tart has just been named as the best cookbook in Ireland at the Irish Book Awards.

This undercooked tart was up against many of Ireland’s food gurus, such as Diana Henry, Trish Deseine, Neven Maguire, Rachel Allen and Donal Skehan. Shocker!

I lost my voice, and a heel. (Surely the hallmark of a great night out?)

And I want to thank you very much. Yes, you. Without you, I would have no wings.

Love and peas,

And another honking thanks to those of you who left sweet (and funny) messages on Amazon, helping other readers make their minds up about purchasing The Virtuous Tart. Reviews are so important *highfive.*

1 CUP = ? g 

I always get asked for conversions from cups to grams. So here you go! Ask, and you shall receive (4 years later admittedly, but I’ve been busy keeping mini humans alive).

Please note that these are officially the measurements for British / NZ / Ozzie cups. American cup size is slightly (13ml) smaller which might be worth keeping in mind if your recipe is from the US.
