My new book, Money For Jam – the Essential Guide to Starting Your Own Small Food Business (2nd Edition) was published by Oaktree Press on September 15th and I’m just a little but excited about it (very!!).

So what’s new? The EU labelling legislation all changed over the past two years, so the new book takes account of all those changes including the Allergens information for both packaged and non-packed foods.
I’ve also included information for would-be food producers in Northern Ireland and Scotland too, and there are lots of resources and links to information. The new book has been revised and expanded and it includes new case studies and details on emerging food trends in an easy to read format. If I may say so myself, it is the perfect addition to your book collection or would make a great gift for the aspiring foodie!
Don’t take my word for it though, I’ve got lots of lovely testimonials, including:
This is a great one stop resource for anyone thinking of starting up a food business in Ireland. Full of practical advice, useful contact details and interesting case studies, it’s an investment well spent!
Aisling Flanagan, Velvet Cloud
Oonagh is an incredibly driven person who helped to point me in the right direction for my business projects and helped me believe in my products and the potential they had. Her passion, her straight talking manner and can-do attitude are just a few of her many positive attributes.
Michael Crowe – Connacht Pale Ale
Oonagh’s breadth of knowledge in all aspects of food production is impressive. What she doesn’t know you could write on the back of a stamp, but she’d know where to find that information. Her energy and enthusiasm for providing knowledge to the semi initiated is huge.
Tony McLoughlin – food startup client
I have been working with food producers for over 18 years now, helping them to start up and grow their businesses and I have assisted over 200 food business start-ups ranging from fudge, sausages, bread and cakes to beer and cream liquors, as well as working with many established and developing food businesses, some of whom feature as case studies in the new book. I love their drive and passion as much as I hope you enjoy my book. You can buy it from bookshops or online. Details of where to find it can be found here.
I hope you enjoy it – please get in touch to let me know what you think, thank you!
