Celebrate plant power with the Happy Pear’s essential recipes.

David and Stephen Flynn, AKA The Happy Pear, need no introduction. Known and loved for their hearty yet healthy dishes, big flavours, delicious food and incredible sense of community, they have been bringing joy through good food for twenty years. 

Inspired by the dishes that are most requested in the café and the food that they (and their kids!) actually eat at home, this is healthy home-cooking at its best. After twenty years of testing and perfecting, these recipes are guaranteed to deliver on flavour and nutrition, all made with familiar ingredients. Embrace plant power with these tried and tested recipes, designed to make eating more veg as easy, and tasty, as possible.

In 2004, David and Stephen Flynn, best known as The Happy Pear, opened a tiny fruit and veg shop in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, with a dream of helping people eat more veg. Now, 20 years later, The Happy Pear consists of their cafe and shop, 80 products, 7 online courses, 7 cookbooks, a farm, a coffee roastery, sourdough bakery and a community of almost 2 million people living healthier.
