Description

Selected as one of The Observer’s Food Books of the Year

“Chef, rebel, activist, and all heart – Jess Murphy cooks the way she lives: fearlessly, with fierce flavour and zero pretence. I love her.” Yvette van Boven, cookbook author and journalist

The Kai Cookbook is the long-awaited collection of 100 of the 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 Māori word for food, and Jess and Dave Murphy opened the door to their award-winning Galway 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.
About Jess Murphy
New Zealand-born chef Jess Murphy has lived in Ireland since 2003 and has been based in Galway since 2005, where she opened her award-winning restaurant, Kai, with her Irish husband, Dave Murphy, in 2011. Kai is a place built on good energy, where happy staff and a busy kitchen combine to send everyone who visits out the door a little bit more content with the world. When Jess is not feeding or minding people, she is quietly fighting for an underdog somewhere here or abroad. She has been a formal High-Profile Supporter of the UNHCR since 2017. Everything that Jess does has a vitality, immediacy and generosity based on friendship, relationships and respect.
