Books by ICA-Irish Countrywomen's' Association

The ICA was founded in May 1910 with the aim 'to improve the standard of life in rural Ireland through education and co-operative effort'. Today the ICA has 700 local Guilds throughout Ireland. They continue to offer support and fun as well as opportunities to make friends, learn new skills and contribute to the wider community. As Eleanor Roosevelt so aptly put it 'Women are like tea bags. They do not know how strong they are until they get into hot water.' Now the women of the ICA are back to share their favourite recipes and lines they love. The ICA Cookbook and The ICA Book of Home and Family were both bestsellers and shortlisted for an Irish Book Award.
