From the early days of his music with Stockton's Wing to his time training at Ballymaloe Cookery School, food and music have been parallel lines that have kept Mike Hanrahan on track his entire life.

Mike Hanrahan, cook and teacher, songwriter and musician, takes us back stage and into the kitchens of a bohemian, international and surprisingly foodie group of Irish household names, including Ronnie Drew, Finbar Furey, Maura O'Connell, Leslie Dowdall, Pat Shortt, Eleanor Shanley and Sharon Shannon.

Mike penned hit singles 'Beautiful Affair' and 'Walk Away' for Stockton's Wing, from which a world of touring and behind-the-scenes escapades began. With affectionate portraits of the legendary personalities he came to know along the way, Beautiful Affair rings with the sheer graft, dedication and serious sense of humour of a life well spent on stage - and in the kitchen.

Mike's time training with Ballymaloe's Darina Allen would see his hobby become a second career. Here, he shares favourite recipes from home, friends and professional kitchens across the country - from family recipes cooked on country hearths to vegetarian folk-club grub and tour-bus pressure-cooker stews. Beautiful Affair tells tales of the Irish music scene from the 1970s through to today, and wends its way through a lifelong love affair with Irish food.

'This is much more than my story. In Beautiful Affair I introduce you to my friends - who share memories, recipes and quite a few amusing anecdotes that add so much sparkle to my life.' - Mike Hanrahan

Have this top in blue and leopard, love both of them. Material is soft and stretchy, not too heavy, great for sunny day. Fits great and looks nice on. Colors are both nice.

Happy with purchase
Color: White Floral, Size: 3X-Large
This shirt is soft and comfortable. I love the sleeve length. The print is nice. It looks nice with jeans, casual pants, and skirts making it versatile. My only complaint is that I have already noticed fading after two washes.

Love these tunics!
Color: Aprioct Boho Yg9, Size: XX-Large
I absolutely love these tunics! They are very figure flattering & so soft & comfortable to wear. The material is on the thinner side so they are great for warmer weather. I have very sensitive skin so many fabrics irritate me but this one is fabulous. I would wash on gentle & hang to dry to keep fabric looking nice. After wearing the first one, I ordered 3 more…

Pretty Tunic Top
Color: Willowfloral, Size: X-Large
Very happy with this tunic top! Long enough for me to feel good about wearing it with leggings, but not SO long it feels like a dress. Really good V-neck, not just a little notch at the top that some brands call a v-neck. I ordered the teal floral XL and was very happy with the fit and drape. I'm a size 18W with a 42D bust and a chubby waistline. I often end up in XXL or 1X tops, but this fit well as an XL. Nice feel to the material and a bargain at the price!
