From the early days of his music with Stockton's Wing to his time training at Ballymaloe Cookery School, food and music have been parallel lines that have kept Mike Hanrahan on track his entire life.

Mike Hanrahan, cook and teacher, songwriter and musician, takes us back stage and into the kitchens of a bohemian, international and surprisingly foodie group of Irish household names, including Ronnie Drew, Finbar Furey, Maura O'Connell, Leslie Dowdall, Pat Shortt, Eleanor Shanley and Sharon Shannon.

Mike penned hit singles 'Beautiful Affair' and 'Walk Away' for Stockton's Wing, from which a world of touring and behind-the-scenes escapades began. With affectionate portraits of the legendary personalities he came to know along the way, Beautiful Affair rings with the sheer graft, dedication and serious sense of humour of a life well spent on stage - and in the kitchen.

Mike's time training with Ballymaloe's Darina Allen would see his hobby become a second career. Here, he shares favourite recipes from home, friends and professional kitchens across the country - from family recipes cooked on country hearths to vegetarian folk-club grub and tour-bus pressure-cooker stews. Beautiful Affair tells tales of the Irish music scene from the 1970s through to today, and wends its way through a lifelong love affair with Irish food.

'This is much more than my story. In Beautiful Affair I introduce you to my friends - who share memories, recipes and quite a few amusing anecdotes that add so much sparkle to my life.' - Mike Hanrahan

High-end quality
Color: Cream White
I’m obsessed with this blanket. It’s insanely soft and cozy without feeling too heavy. The cream color is even prettier in person and looks so clean and elevated. It’s perfect for lounging or just throwing over a bed or chair for decor. I’m so happy with this purchase, definitely worth it!

Great Quality and price

This is a great blanket purchase. It is very soft and cozy that also does not shed. It looks great draped on our couch. It is both functional and stylish. It doesn't loose its fluffiness. Highly recommend and is reasonable price.

Cozy and soft
Color: Cream White
This blanket is honestly one of the coziest things I’ve ever owned. The material is unbelievably soft—like wrapping yourself in a cloud of creamy, plush fur. It has that perfect balance of being lightweight but still incredibly warm, so you feel snug without getting overheated. The texture is so smooth and fluffy that it almost feels luxurious, and it instantly makes any space look cuter and more inviting. What I love most is how comforting it feels after a long day. Whether I’m relaxing on the couch or getting ready for bed, it adds that extra layer of warmth and calm. Plus, the creamy color gives it a soft, aesthetic look that goes with everything. It’s not just a blanket—it’s a whole cozy vibe.
