Summary

David and Stephen Flynn, AKA The Happy Pear, need no introduction. Known and loved for their hearty yet healthy dishes, big flavours, delicious food and incredible sense of community, they have been bringing joy through good food for twenty years. 


The new book, The Happy Pear 20: Recipes and Learnings from the First 20 Years, is inspired by the dishes that are most requested in the café and the food that they (and their kids!) actually eat at home, this is healthy home-cooking at its best. The book is out now and available in stores and online!
