Toasties

Whether it's a lunchtime mainstay, a midnight snack or eaten while hidden in a snug with a pint and a packet of crisps, the toastie has always been a staple of the Irish diet. Over the years, it's evolved from the fundamental toasted special to something more complex and culturally diverse, but the foundations are still the same: the indulgent pleasure of real butter and the alchemy that happens when they meet bread and heat.**xA0;Toasties is packed with simple recipes that comfort and delight, but with a few twists, some hot takes and a dash of nostalgia thrown in for good measure. With an emphasis on artisan Irish cheese, there's a toastie for every mood. Raised in the wilds of south-west Ireland on unpasteurised milk and unapologetically obsessed with great dairy, Sinéad Sheehy and Ann Ní Chíobháin started their Cáis (Irish for cheese) food truck in 2020.**xA0;Each recipe has been tried and tested by their loyal customers in Dingle, County Kerry, so they know what makes certain toastie combos a hit and are keen to invite you into their world - because a great toastie isn't just food, it's a way of life.
