The Cornucopia Story is a moving memoir of love, loss and resilience. Deirdre O’Mara McCafferty recounts her life with her husband, Neil, from their first meeting in Dublin during the Troubles in 1973, through their years as immigrants in the United States, to their return to Dublin, where they founded the renowned Cornucopia Restaurant. Set against a backdrop of political upheaval and emigration, the book tells the story of a relationship shaped by shared ideals, hardship and deep devotion. Their dream of building a family and creating a pioneering wholefood vegetarian restaurant was cut tragically short when Neil was diagnosed with terminal cancer and died at age forty. In the aftermath of profound loss, Deirdre’s journey through grief reveals the enduring strength of love and purpose. At once intimate and universal, The Cornucopia Story is a moving tribute to a remarkable bond and the enduring legacy it left behind. ‘A remarkable and fascinating story . . . of a community that changed Ireland's outlook on food and its place in our lives.’ – Niall Stokes, Editor, Hot Press
