Whether it’s a lunchtime mainstay, a midnight snack or eaten while hidden in a snug with a pint and a packet of crisps, the toastie has always been a staple of the Irish diet. Over the years, it’s evolved from the fundamental toasted special to something more complex and culturally diverse, but the foundations are still the same: the indulgent pleasure of real butter and the alchemy that happens when they meet bread and heat. Toasties is packed with simple recipes that comfort and delight, but with a few twists, some hot takes and a dash of nostalgia thrown in for good measure. With an emphasis on artisan Irish cheese, there’s a toastie for every mood. Raised in the wilds of south-west Ireland on unpasteurised milk and unapologetically obsessed with great dairy, Sinéad Sheehy and Ann Ní Chíobháin started their Cáis (Irish for cheese) food truck in 2020. Each recipe has been tried and tested by their loyal customers in Dingle, County Kerry, so they know what makes certain toastie combos a hit and are keen to invite you into their world – because a great toastie isn’t just food, it’s a way of life.
