Tacos - Lily Ramirez Foran

Lily Ramirez-Foran has spent years sharing how fun, vibrant and convivial Mexican food is and how easy it is to make at home, and what better way to do that than with tacos? These are the authentic flavours of Mexico, from real corn tortillas to smoky chillies, matched with the best of Irish produce. There is something for everyone here, whether you're a carnivore, vegetarian or vegan. Your taco night is about to get taken up a level.

Lily Ramirez-Foran – shopkeeper, food writer, storyteller, mad dreamer and lover of all things Irish – is the founder of Ireland’s first Mexican boutique grocer and cookery school, Picado Mexican in Dublin. She’s also the author behind the popular Mexican food blog A Mexican Cook.

Lily has been living and cooking in Ireland for 20 years with her Irish husband and business partner, Alan. She’s a woman on a mission to showcase Mexican food beyond its clichés and misconceptions.

When not busy with work, Lily can be found experimenting with recipes, writing at her kitchen table and learning to grow food in her tiny urban garden.

"This is the simple, undeniable state of affairs right now: I have fallen in love with Lily Ramirez-Foran’s beautiful little book, Tacos, and I can’t wait for you to as well! It’s a real shout-it-from-the-rooftops moment." – Nigella Lawson
