The Real McHugh

Lifestyle/cook book by Margaret McHugh

We have been eating our way through ‘M McH’s journey to your palate’ … what fun we are having!  It is fabulously familiar in many many ways and yet so much more… we are taken with your can do attitude. It leaves little room for anything except our ear to ear smiles with each adventure and well deserved memories of whitebait, sweet mince tarts and boiled fruitcake ….
