Jonny Murphy is a former professional rugby union player from Northern Ireland, who played hooker for Ulster (2015-17), Rotherham Titans (2017-18) and Connacht (2018-22).

After a career-ending injury, turned to his other passion, baking.

Jonny speaks very movingly about his own personal journey, and how the support of his close-knit family community was invaluable when he found himself losing the only identity he had ever known.

This fabulous cookbook features over 100 recipes that cater to all baking skills, making it perfect for:

Sunday morning brunch

Celebrating birthdays or anniversaries

Treating colleagues

Baking with kids for school fairs

Enjoying by yourself with a cuppa
