My Irish Table Book Signing at Bethesda Central Farm Market!

We have a very special treat this weekend! Chef Armstrong, co-author of My Irish Table, and chef at Restaurant Eve in Virginia, is coming to Bethesda Central Farm Market to

sign copies of his new cookbook on Sunday, July 27 from 10am-12pm. My Irish Table is the debut cookbook from Dublin born Chef Cathal Armstrong and features 130 recipes showcasing Modern Irish fare, interlaced with stories about Armstrong's journey from Dublin to Washington, DC and his path to successful restaurateur, chef and leader in

the sustainable food movement.

In addition to the book signing, Chef Lynn Foster will cook up a delicious recipe from the cookbook. Stop by to get a taste and come early to get your signed copy of My Irish Table and chat with Chef Armstrong!

See you at the market!
